Methylbutyryl chloride

Description:
Methylbutyryl chloride, with the CAS number 57526-28-0, is an organic compound classified as an acyl chloride. It features a butyryl group attached to a methyl group, making it a derivative of butyric acid. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, characteristic of acyl chlorides. It is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, where it can react with alcohols, amines, and water, leading to the formation of esters, amides, and carboxylic acids, respectively. Methylbutyryl chloride is soluble in organic solvents but reacts vigorously with water, releasing hydrochloric acid. Due to its reactivity and potential hazards, including corrosiveness and toxicity, it must be handled with care in a well-ventilated environment, using appropriate personal protective equipment. Its applications are primarily in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
