:Decanoic acid, 1-chloroethyl ester
Description:
Decanoic acid, 1-chloroethyl ester, also known as ethyl decanoate, is an ester derived from decanoic acid and 1-chloroethanol. It is characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a long hydrophobic carbon chain typical of fatty acids, contributing to its lipophilic properties. This compound is generally a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. It has a relatively low boiling point and moderate solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the chlorine atom in its structure can impart unique reactivity, making it of interest in various chemical synthesis processes. Additionally, decanoic acid derivatives are often studied for their potential biological activities, including antimicrobial properties. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as with many chemical substances, including proper handling and storage to mitigate any potential hazards. Overall, decanoic acid, 1-chloroethyl ester is a versatile compound with applications in both industrial and research settings.
