C4H9ClO

C4H9ClO is the molecular formula for several chemical compounds, all isomers of butyl chloride. These compounds contain four carbon atoms, nine hydrogen atoms, one chlorine atom, and one oxygen atom. The presence of both chlorine and oxygen indicates that these are organochlorine compounds with an ether linkage. Common examples of isomers with this formula include isomers of chlorobutoxyethane or isomers of ethoxychloroethane. The exact physical and chemical properties vary depending on the specific arrangement of atoms within the molecule. These compounds are typically synthesized through reactions involving alcohols and alkyl halides. Their applications can range depending on their specific structure, potentially including use as solvents or intermediates in organic synthesis. Further research into specific isomers is required to understand their individual characteristics and uses.
