6-Chlorohexanoyl chloride

Description:
6-Chlorohexanoyl chloride is an acyl chloride with the molecular formula C7H12ClO, characterized by the presence of a chloro substituent on the sixth carbon of a hexanoyl chain. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid, known for its strong reactivity due to the presence of the acyl chloride functional group, which makes it a potent electrophile. It readily reacts with nucleophiles, including alcohols and amines, to form esters and amides, respectively. The chloro group enhances its reactivity, making it useful in organic synthesis for introducing the hexanoyl moiety into various chemical structures. Additionally, 6-chlorohexanoyl chloride is sensitive to moisture and should be handled under anhydrous conditions to prevent hydrolysis, which can lead to the formation of hydrochloric acid and the corresponding carboxylic acid. Safety precautions are essential when working with this compound, as it can be corrosive and irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
