Structure of Ethyl 3-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate, CAS 5400-79-3 — Structure · C8H12O3

CAS number: 5400-79-3
Molecular formula: C₈H₁₂O₃
Molecular weight: 156.18 g/mol
Standard packing: 1kg / 25kg / 100kg

Ethyl 3-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate (CAS 5400-79-3) is a ketone building block of formula C8H12O3, 156.18 g/mol, packed in 1kg / 25kg / 100kg.

A ketone is a branch point rather than a terminus: alkylation, condensation and reduction to the secondary alcohol all start at the carbonyl carbon. The ring constrains the geometry of the fragment, so the entry is bought for the shape it imposes on the rest of the molecule rather than for a single reactive site.

The formula C8H12O3 resolves to 8 carbons with 3 oxygens. A 8-carbon chain sits between volatility and lipophilicity, which is the range most often used when a fragment has to stay in the organic phase without being waxy.

Handling and storage

Ketones are stored closed and dry; enolisable ketones are checked for colour before use.

Ordering

Supplied in 1kg / 25kg / 100kg; a gram-scale sample is quoted against the same specification, so the analysis seen at sample stage is the analysis of the kilo lot.
