Ethyl 2-oxocycloheptanecarboxylate

2-Oxo-cycloheptanecarboxylic acid ethylester is an organic compound that has been found to have anticancer properties. It is a homologue of the coumarin derivatives, and its antineoplastic activity is due to its ability to inhibit cell proliferation by inhibiting protein synthesis. 2-Oxo-cycloheptanecarboxylic acid ethylester inhibits the enzyme escherichia coli cells, which are responsible for the synthesis of proteins in cells. In addition, it can induce apoptosis in cancerous cells by binding to DNA and altering their structure and function. The reaction mechanism of 2-Oxo-cycloheptanecarboxylic acid ethylester involves nucleophilic attack on the carbon atom adjacent to a carbonyl group. This results in the formation of an electrophilic carbon center with a positive charge that reacts with nucleophiles such as water or alcohols. The
