:ethyl 5-oxoheptanoate
Description:
Ethyl 5-oxoheptanoate, with the CAS number 70432-50-7, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of esters. It is characterized by the presence of a five-carbon chain with a ketone functional group at the fifth position and an ethyl ester group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, which is common among esters. Ethyl 5-oxoheptanoate is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. It is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and flavoring agents. The compound's reactivity is influenced by the carbonyl group, making it susceptible to nucleophilic attacks, which is a key feature in many chemical reactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
