2-Methoxybenzenepropanoyl chloride

Description:

2-Methoxybenzenepropanoyl chloride, also known as anisoyl chloride, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a methoxy group attached to a benzene ring and a propanoyl chloride functional group. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, indicative of its reactivity. This compound is known for its role as an acylating agent in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of esters and amides. It is sensitive to moisture and can hydrolyze in the presence of water, releasing hydrochloric acid and forming the corresponding acid. The compound is generally handled with caution due to its corrosive nature and potential to cause skin and respiratory irritation. In terms of solubility, it is typically soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ether but insoluble in water. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from moisture is essential to maintain its stability and reactivity. As with all chemical substances, appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling this compound.
