Butanoic acid, 4-bromo-2-(methoxyimino)-3-oxo-, ethyl ester

Description:

Butanoic acid, 4-bromo-2-(methoxyimino)-3-oxo-, ethyl ester, identified by CAS number 60845-87-6, is an organic compound that features a butanoic acid backbone modified with a bromo substituent and a methoxyimino group. This compound typically exhibits characteristics common to esters, such as a fruity odor and relatively low boiling points compared to their corresponding acids. The presence of the bromo group introduces halogen reactivity, which can influence its chemical behavior, including potential electrophilic substitution reactions. The methoxyimino group may enhance the compound's reactivity, particularly in condensation reactions or as a potential precursor in synthetic pathways. As an ester, it is likely to be soluble in organic solvents and may have limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. The compound's structure suggests potential applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, or agrochemicals, although specific applications would depend on further research into its reactivity and biological activity. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage guidelines.
