CAS 61644-18-6

Propanoicacid, 2-methyl-, chloromethyl ester

Description:

Propanoic acid, 2-methyl-, chloromethyl ester, identified by the CAS number 61644-18-6, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. This compound features a propanoic acid backbone with a methyl group at the second carbon position and a chloromethyl group attached to the ester. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the chloromethyl group suggests that it may exhibit reactivity typical of halogenated compounds, potentially participating in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water are common traits of esters. The compound may be used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis or in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as chlorinated compounds can pose health risks and environmental concerns. Proper handling and disposal according to regulatory guidelines are essential when working with this substance.
