Cyclopentyl(3,5-dichlorophenyl)methanone

Description:

Cyclopentyl(3,5-dichlorophenyl)methanone, with the CAS number 898791-90-7, is an organic compound characterized by its unique structure, which includes a cyclopentyl group and a 3,5-dichlorophenyl moiety attached to a carbonyl functional group (ketone). This compound typically exhibits a solid state at room temperature and is likely to be insoluble or only slightly soluble in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents due to its hydrophobic characteristics. The presence of chlorine atoms on the phenyl ring can influence its reactivity and biological activity, potentially enhancing lipophilicity and altering its interaction with biological targets. Cyclopentyl(3,5-dichlorophenyl)methanone may be of interest in medicinal chemistry and material science, where its structural features could be leveraged for the development of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted to understand its toxicity, handling precautions, and environmental impact.
