Ethyl 2-(cyclopropylcarbonyl)benzoate

Description:

Ethyl 2-(cyclopropylcarbonyl)benzoate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from benzoic acid and ethyl alcohol. The structure features a cyclopropylcarbonyl group attached to the 2-position of the benzoate moiety, contributing to its unique chemical properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. Ethyl 2-(cyclopropylcarbonyl)benzoate may exhibit interesting reactivity patterns, including potential participation in nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions, making it valuable in synthetic organic chemistry. Its specific applications may vary, but compounds of this nature are often explored in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrance formulations. Safety data should be consulted to ensure proper handling, as with any chemical substance, to mitigate risks associated with exposure or environmental impact.
