1-Cyclopentene-1-carboxylic acid, 2-chloro-, methyl ester

Description:

1-Cyclopentene-1-carboxylic acid, 2-chloro-, methyl ester is an organic compound characterized by its cyclopentene ring structure, which is a five-membered carbon ring with one double bond. The presence of a carboxylic acid functional group indicates that it can participate in acid-base reactions and can form esters, while the methyl ester designation suggests that the carboxylic acid is esterified with methanol. The 2-chloro substituent introduces a chlorine atom at the second carbon of the cyclopentene ring, which can influence the compound's reactivity and polarity. This compound is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid, exhibiting moderate volatility and solubility in organic solvents. Its chemical properties may include reactivity towards nucleophiles due to the electrophilic nature of the carbonyl carbon in the ester group. Additionally, it may undergo various reactions typical of alkenes, such as addition reactions. Overall, this compound is of interest in organic synthesis and may have applications in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals due to its unique structural features.
