tert-Butyl 3-chloromethylbenzoate

Description:
Tert-Butyl 3-chloromethylbenzoate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from benzoic acid and tert-butyl alcohol. It features a chloromethyl group attached to the aromatic ring, specifically at the meta position relative to the ester group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ethyl acetate but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the chloromethyl group makes it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, tert-Butyl 3-chloromethylbenzoate may exhibit reactivity typical of both esters and alkyl halides, allowing for further functionalization through nucleophilic substitution or other chemical transformations. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.
