:(S)-2-Methylbutanoyl chloride
Description:
(S)-2-Methylbutanoyl chloride, with the CAS number 27763-54-8, is an acyl chloride that serves as an important intermediate in organic synthesis. This compound features a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to a chlorine atom, making it highly reactive, particularly towards nucleophiles. Its structure includes a branched alkyl chain, which contributes to its unique properties. The presence of the acyl chloride functional group indicates that it can readily undergo reactions such as acylation, making it useful in the synthesis of esters, amides, and other derivatives. (S)-2-Methylbutanoyl chloride is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, characteristic of many acyl chlorides. It is important to handle this compound with care, as it can be corrosive and may react violently with water, releasing hydrochloric acid. In terms of solubility, it is generally soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. Its stereochemistry, indicated by the (S) designation, suggests that it has specific spatial arrangements that can influence its reactivity and interactions in chemical reactions.
