Acetic acid, 2-chloro-, dodecyl ester

Description:

Acetic acid, 2-chloro-, dodecyl ester, with the CAS number 6316-04-7, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of esters. It is characterized by the presence of a dodecyl group, which is a long-chain alkyl group derived from dodecanol, contributing to its hydrophobic properties. The molecule features a chlorine atom attached to the second carbon of the acetic acid moiety, which can influence its reactivity and solubility. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to the long hydrophobic dodecyl chain. Acetic acid esters are often used in various applications, including as solvents, plasticizers, and in the formulation of surfactants. The presence of the chlorine atom may impart additional properties, such as increased reactivity in certain chemical reactions. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
