Ethyl 4-chlorobutyrate

Description:

Ethyl 4-chlorobutyrate is an organic compound classified as an ester, specifically derived from butyric acid and ethanol. It features a four-carbon butyrate chain with a chlorine substituent at the fourth carbon position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, making it potentially useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. Ethyl 4-chlorobutyrate is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to its ester functional group. It has a relatively low boiling point, which is characteristic of many esters, and can be synthesized through the reaction of 4-chlorobutyric acid with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst. In terms of reactivity, it can undergo hydrolysis to form the corresponding acid and alcohol, and it may also participate in various nucleophilic substitution reactions due to the presence of the chlorine atom. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
