2-Chlorobutanoic acid

Description:
2-Chlorobutanoic acid is a chlorinated carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom at the second carbon of a four-carbon butanoic acid chain. Its molecular formula is C4H7ClO2, and it features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) that imparts acidic properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various chemical reactions. 2-Chlorobutanoic acid can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions due to the presence of the chlorine atom, which can be replaced by nucleophiles. This compound is of interest in organic synthesis and can serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other chemical products. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances is essential to ensure safety and stability.
