CAS 88606-70-6
:Octanoic acid, 3-chloropropyl ester
Description:
Octanoic acid, 3-chloropropyl ester, also known by its CAS number 88606-70-6, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from octanoic acid and 3-chloropropanol. This compound typically exhibits a moderate molecular weight and is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting the hydrophobic nature of the octanoic acid moiety, while its ester linkage may impart some degree of reactivity, particularly in hydrolysis reactions. The presence of the chlorine atom in the 3-position of the propyl chain can influence its chemical behavior, potentially affecting its reactivity and interactions with other substances. Octanoic acid derivatives are often used in various applications, including as surfactants, emulsifiers, and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as esters can vary in toxicity and environmental impact. Overall, this compound exemplifies the diverse chemistry of fatty acid esters and their functional derivatives.
