Propanoic acid, 3-chloro-, ethyl ester

Description:

Propanoic acid, 3-chloro-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 3-chloropropanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from propanoic acid and ethanol. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor. This compound is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions in its molecular structure. The presence of the chlorine atom at the third carbon position influences its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Propanoic acid derivatives, including this ester, are known for their applications in flavoring, fragrance, and as building blocks in chemical synthesis. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances is recommended to ensure safety and stability.
