1,3-Dioxolane-2-pentanoic acid, 2-(2-chloroethyl)-, ethyl ester

Description:

1,3-Dioxolane-2-pentanoic acid, 2-(2-chloroethyl)-, ethyl ester, identified by its CAS number 88593-87-7, is an organic compound characterized by its dioxolane ring structure, which contributes to its stability and reactivity. This compound features a pentanoic acid moiety, indicating the presence of a five-carbon carboxylic acid chain, and an ethyl ester functional group, which enhances its solubility in organic solvents. The presence of a chloroethyl substituent introduces additional reactivity, making it potentially useful in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. The compound is likely to exhibit moderate polarity due to the combination of hydrophilic (carboxylic acid and ester) and hydrophobic (alkyl chains) components. Its unique structure may confer specific biological activities or applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with many chlorinated compounds, due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
