2-Chlorobutyryl chloride

Description:
2-Chlorobutyryl chloride, with the CAS number 7623-11-2, is an organic compound classified as an acyl chloride. It is characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom attached to the second carbon of a butyric acid derivative. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, indicative of its reactivity. It is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ether but is not soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 2-Chlorobutyryl chloride is known for its role as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is highly reactive, especially with nucleophiles, and can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, forming 2-chlorobutyric acid. Due to its reactivity, it must be handled with care, as it can cause severe burns and irritation upon contact with skin or mucous membranes. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this compound.
