CAS 609-13-2: Butanoic acid, 2-bromo-3-oxo-, ethyl ester

Description: Butanoic acid, 2-bromo-3-oxo-, ethyl ester, also known by its CAS number 609-13-2, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from butanoic acid and an ethyl alcohol moiety. This compound features a bromo substituent at the second carbon and a keto group at the third carbon of the butanoic acid chain, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the bromine atom enhances its electrophilic character, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. Its ester nature suggests it may be involved in reactions typical of esters, such as hydrolysis and transesterification. Additionally, butanoic acid derivatives are often studied for their biological activity, including potential applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Proper handling and storage are essential due to its potential reactivity and the need for safety precautions when working with halogenated compounds.
