5-Chloropentanoic acid

Description:

5-Chloropentanoic acid is a carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom at the fifth carbon of a five-carbon alkyl chain. Its molecular formula is C5H9ClO2, indicating it contains five carbon atoms, nine hydrogen atoms, one chlorine atom, and two oxygen atoms. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It is soluble in polar solvents like water and alcohols due to its carboxylic acid functional group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The presence of the chlorine atom introduces unique reactivity, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. 5-Chloropentanoic acid can undergo typical reactions of carboxylic acids, such as esterification and acid-base reactions. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as it may be irritating to the skin and eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances is recommended to maintain its stability.
