4-chlorobutanal

Description:
4-Chlorobutanal is an organic compound characterized by its aldehyde functional group and the presence of a chlorine atom at the fourth carbon position of a four-carbon butanal chain. Its molecular formula is C4H7ClO, indicating it contains four carbon atoms, seven hydrogen atoms, one chlorine atom, and one oxygen atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate reactivity due to the presence of the aldehyde group, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and condensation. The chlorine substituent can influence its reactivity and polarity, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling 4-chlorobutanal, as it may pose health risks through inhalation or skin contact. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate any environmental impact.
