Description

Ethyl 3-chloropropionate is a liquid with a boiling point of 65°C. It is used in the reaction between nitrobenzene and hydrochloric acid to produce an intermediate compound, which is then reacted with chloroethane. This process results in the formation of ethyl 3-chloropropionate, which can be used as an antifungal agent or a precursor for other compounds. The reaction mechanism starts with the addition of chloride to nitrobenzene, forming a nitro chloride that undergoes substitution reactions with hydrochloric acid. This leads to the formation of an intermediate compound that reacts with chloroethane to produce ethyl 3-chloropropionate.
