Product Information

• Name: 2-(4-Chlorophenoxy)butanoic acid

Description

2-(4-Chlorophenoxy)butanoic acid is an enantiomer of butyric acid. It is an acidic liquid with a pKa of 3.2 and a boiling point of 114°C. 2-(4-Chlorophenoxy)butanoic acid can be used as an analytical reagent to introduce the phenoxy group into organic compounds. The introduction of this group can be done using the chemical reaction between 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)butanoic acid and butyric acid, which produces 2-(4-chlorobutyryloxy)phenol and butyric acid. Sodium chloride or magnesium chloride are often used as solvents for this reaction. This compound has two chiral centers, which means that it exists in two different forms: erythro (R)-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)butanoic (or R,R)-2-(4-chlorobutyryloxy)phenol and
