Ethyl 3-chlorobenzoylformate

Description:
Ethyl 3-chlorobenzoylformate, with the CAS number 62123-73-3, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and the presence of a chlorobenzoyl moiety. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Ethyl 3-chlorobenzoylformate is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it useful in various synthetic applications, including the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of the chlorine atom enhances its electrophilic character, facilitating further chemical transformations. Safety data indicates that, like many chlorinated compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks upon exposure. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials is recommended to maintain its stability and efficacy.
