2-Chlorocycloheptanone is a cyclic ketone characterized by the presence of a seven-membered carbon ring with a ketone functional group and a chlorine substituent at the second carbon position. Its molecular formula is C7H11ClO, indicating it contains seven carbon atoms, eleven hydrogen atoms, one chlorine atom, and one oxygen atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic cycloalkane structure. 2-Chlorocycloheptanone is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the ketone and chlorine functional groups, allowing for various chemical transformations. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate protective equipment should be used to minimize exposure.
