2-Ethylhexanoyl chloride

Description:
2-Ethylhexanoyl chloride, with the CAS number 760-67-8, is an acyl chloride derived from 2-ethylhexanoic acid. It is characterized by its reactive nature, primarily due to the presence of the acyl chloride functional group (-COCl), which makes it a potent electrophile. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform but is not soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 2-Ethylhexanoyl chloride is used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of esters, amides, and other derivatives, making it valuable in the production of various chemical intermediates. It is important to handle this substance with care, as it can be corrosive and may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area, are essential when working with this compound.
