2-Heptylcyclopentanone, with the CAS number 137-03-1, is an organic compound characterized by its cyclic ketone structure. It features a cyclopentanone ring with a heptyl group attached at the second carbon position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, which can be reminiscent of certain fatty acids or natural oils. Its molecular formula reflects a moderate level of complexity, contributing to its unique physical and chemical properties. 2-Heptylcyclopentanone is known for its relatively low volatility and moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic heptyl chain. The compound may exhibit interesting reactivity typical of ketones, such as undergoing nucleophilic addition reactions. Additionally, it may find applications in the fragrance industry or as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
