CAS 830-97-7

Carbonochloridic acid, 2-(trichloromethyl)phenyl ester

Description:

Carbonochloridic acid, 2-(trichloromethyl)phenyl ester, also known by its CAS number 830-97-7, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and the presence of a trichloromethyl group attached to a phenyl ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its strong reactivity due to the presence of chlorine atoms, which can enhance its electrophilic properties. It is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds. The presence of the trichloromethyl group contributes to its potential applications in agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. However, due to its chlorinated nature, it may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal. Its chemical behavior can be influenced by factors such as temperature and the presence of nucleophiles, making it a subject of interest in both industrial and research settings. Safety precautions are essential when working with this compound due to its potential toxicity and reactivity.
