Description:
Ethyl 4-chloro-2-fluorobenzoate, with the CAS number 4793-20-8, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzoate esters. It features a benzoate moiety where a chlorine atom is positioned at the para (4) position and a fluorine atom at the meta (2) position relative to the ester functional group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is characterized by its aromatic nature, which contributes to its stability and reactivity. Ethyl 4-chloro-2-fluorobenzoate is often used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Its reactivity can be influenced by the presence of the halogen substituents, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, it may exhibit moderate to low solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as halogenated compounds can pose health risks.
