Pentanoic acid,3-chloro-2,4-dioxo-, ethyl ester

Description:
Pentanoic acid, 3-chloro-2,4-dioxo-, ethyl ester, identified by its CAS number 34959-81-4, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and the presence of a chloro substituent. This compound features a pentanoic acid backbone, which is a five-carbon straight-chain fatty acid, modified by the presence of two keto groups (dioxo) at the 2 and 4 positions, and a chlorine atom at the 3 position. The ethyl ester indicates that the pentanoic acid is esterified with an ethyl group, enhancing its solubility in organic solvents. This compound may exhibit properties typical of esters, such as pleasant odors and volatility, and can participate in various chemical reactions, including hydrolysis and transesterification. Its unique structure suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as intermediates in organic synthesis. However, specific safety and handling guidelines should be followed due to the presence of chlorine, which can impart toxicity and environmental concerns.
