Pentanoic acid, 5-oxo-, ethyl ester

Description:

Pentanoic acid, 5-oxo-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 5-oxopentanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and a five-carbon chain with a ketone group at the fifth position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, which is common among esters. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions in its molecular structure. The compound is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the ester and ketone functional groups, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic acyl substitution and condensation reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes and should be used in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation of vapors.
