Ethyl (2-chlorophenyl)acetate

Description:
Ethyl (2-chlorophenyl)acetate, with the CAS number 40061-54-9, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of esters. It is characterized by its ethyl acetate structure, where an ethyl group is attached to the acetate moiety, and a 2-chlorophenyl group is substituted at the acetyl position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. Ethyl (2-chlorophenyl)acetate is moderately soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Its chemical properties include reactivity with nucleophiles due to the presence of the ester functional group, which can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water or bases. Additionally, the presence of the chlorine atom in the aromatic ring can influence its reactivity and stability. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
