2-(4-Nitrophenoxy)butanoyl chloride

Description:

2-(4-Nitrophenoxy)butanoyl chloride, with the CAS number 86464-92-8, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a butanoyl chloride functional group attached to a 4-nitrophenoxy moiety. This compound typically appears as a yellow to brownish liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. It is known for its reactivity due to the acyl chloride functional group, which can readily participate in nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions, making it useful in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of esters and amides. The nitro group on the aromatic ring contributes to the compound's electrophilic character, enhancing its reactivity. Additionally, 2-(4-Nitrophenoxy)butanoyl chloride is likely to be sensitive to moisture and should be handled with care, as it can hydrolyze to form the corresponding acid. Safety precautions are essential when working with this compound due to its potential irritant properties and the toxicity associated with the nitro group.
