CAS 88395-82-8
:Butanoic acid, 2-chloro-, hexadecyl ester
Description:
Butanoic acid, 2-chloro-, hexadecyl ester, with the CAS number 88395-82-8, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from butanoic acid and hexadecyl alcohol. This compound typically exhibits a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain due to the hexadecyl group, which contributes to its lipophilic properties, making it soluble in organic solvents but less so in water. The presence of the 2-chloro substituent on the butanoic acid moiety introduces a chlorine atom that can influence the compound's reactivity and physical properties, such as boiling and melting points. Esters like this one are often used in various applications, including as flavoring agents, fragrances, and in the formulation of surfactants. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, which could be relevant in fields such as pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety and handling precautions are essential due to the potential hazards associated with chlorine-containing compounds.
