6-Chlorohexanoic acid

Description:

6-Chlorohexanoic acid is a chlorinated fatty acid characterized by a six-carbon chain with a carboxylic acid functional group and a chlorine atom attached to the sixth carbon. Its molecular formula is C6H11ClO2, and it features a straight-chain structure, which contributes to its physical and chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the polar carboxylic acid group. 6-Chlorohexanoic acid is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. The presence of the chlorine atom enhances its reactivity, making it useful in substitution reactions. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as it may be irritating to the skin and eyes, and proper storage is essential to prevent degradation.
