Heptanoic acid, 7-chloro-2-oxo-, ethyl ester

Description:
Heptanoic acid, 7-chloro-2-oxo-, ethyl ester, with the CAS number 78834-75-0, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of esters. It is characterized by the presence of a heptanoic acid backbone, which is a seven-carbon saturated fatty acid, modified by the presence of a chloro group and a keto group at specific positions on the carbon chain. The ethyl ester functional group indicates that the compound is formed by the reaction of heptanoic acid with ethanol, resulting in the esterification process. This compound is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor, typical of esters. It may exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the chloro and keto groups can impart unique chemical reactivity, making it of interest in various synthetic applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
