:ethyl 8-fluorooctanoate
Description:
Ethyl 8-fluorooctanoate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, derived from octanoic acid and ethanol. It features a fluorine atom positioned at the 8th carbon of the octanoate chain, which contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, indicative of its ester nature. Ethyl 8-fluorooctanoate is known for its moderate volatility and solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic octyl chain. The presence of the fluorine atom can enhance its lipophilicity and influence its reactivity, making it of interest in various chemical syntheses and applications, including potential uses in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data indicates that, like many fluorinated compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Overall, ethyl 8-fluorooctanoate exemplifies the diverse functionalities of fluorinated organic compounds in chemical research and industry.
