CAS 76118-05-3
:2-Ethylbenzoyl chloride
Description:
2-Ethylbenzoyl chloride, with the CAS number 76118-05-3, is an aromatic acyl chloride characterized by the presence of both an ethyl group and a benzoyl chloride functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its strong, pungent odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ether but is generally insoluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. As an acyl chloride, it is highly reactive, particularly with nucleophiles, making it useful in organic synthesis for the introduction of the benzoyl group into various substrates. It can participate in reactions such as acylation and can hydrolyze in the presence of water, releasing hydrochloric acid. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from moisture is recommended to maintain its stability and reactivity.
