Description:1-Chloro-3-methoxypropane, with the CAS number 36215-07-3, is an organic compound characterized by its chloro and methoxy functional groups. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, typical of alkyl halides. The presence of the chlorine atom introduces reactivity, making it a potential candidate for nucleophilic substitution reactions. The methoxy group contributes to its polar nature, influencing its solubility in various solvents; it is generally more soluble in organic solvents than in water. This compound is often used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of other chemical entities. Its boiling point and density are typical of similar alkyl chlorides, and it should be handled with care due to its potential toxicity and irritant properties. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance in a laboratory setting.
