Ethyl 4-(cyclopentylcarbonyl)benzoate

Description:

Ethyl 4-(cyclopentylcarbonyl)benzoate, identified by its CAS number 898791-40-7, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of esters. It features a benzoate moiety, where a cyclopentylcarbonyl group is attached to the para position of the benzene ring, and an ethyl group is esterified to the carboxylic acid part of the benzoate. This compound is characterized by its moderate polarity due to the presence of both hydrophobic (cyclopentyl and phenyl groups) and hydrophilic (ethyl ester) components. It is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, typical of many esters. Ethyl 4-(cyclopentylcarbonyl)benzoate may exhibit solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, while being less soluble in water. Its structure suggests potential applications in organic synthesis, fragrance formulations, or as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as it may pose health or environmental risks.
