2-ethoxypentanoic acid

Description:
2-Ethoxypentanoic acid is an organic compound characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group and an ethoxy substituent on the second carbon of a pentanoic acid chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a moderate molecular weight. Its structure includes a five-carbon straight chain (pentanoic acid) with an ethoxy group (-OCH2CH3) attached to the second carbon, influencing its solubility and reactivity. 2-Ethoxypentanoic acid is likely to be soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the alkyl chain. The presence of the carboxylic acid group allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and acid-base reactions. This compound may have applications in organic synthesis, as a building block for more complex molecules, or in the formulation of certain products. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
