• Description: Ethyl 4-chlorobutyrate is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of pyrazoles. It is used in organic synthesis as a reagent for the conversion of carbonyl groups into chlorides and bromides, as well as for the production of polyclonal antibodies. The Friedel-Crafts reaction can be carried out using ethyl 4-chlorobutyrate, which will convert a nitro group into an oxide group. This procedure can be used to synthesize oximes from carboxylic acids or amines. Ethyl 4-chlorobutyrate also reacts with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid to form ethyl chloride and hydrogen chloride gas. Ethyl 4-chlorobutyrate can be reacted with ammonia to produce butyric acid, which is an indole alkaloid. However, it does not react with amines such as methylamine or ethylamine because these compounds do
