(E,E)-Farnesyl chloride

Description:

(E,E)-Farnesyl chloride is an organic compound characterized by its structure as a chlorinated derivative of farnesene, which is a sesquiterpene. It features a long hydrocarbon chain with multiple double bonds, specifically in the E configuration, indicating the trans arrangement of substituents around the double bonds. The presence of a chlorine atom introduces a reactive site, making it useful in various chemical reactions, particularly in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of other compounds. This substance is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. As with many chlorinated compounds, (E,E)-Farnesyl chloride may pose health and environmental risks, necessitating careful handling and storage. Its applications can extend to the fields of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrance chemistry, where it may serve as a building block for more complex molecules.
