4-Methylpentanoyl chloride

Description:

4-Methylpentanoyl chloride, with the CAS number 38136-29-7, is an acyl chloride that belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid derivatives. It is characterized by the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) adjacent to a chlorine atom, which makes it highly reactive, particularly towards nucleophiles. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, indicative of its reactivity and potential for hydrolysis in the presence of moisture. Its molecular structure features a branched alkyl chain, which contributes to its physical properties and reactivity. 4-Methylpentanoyl chloride is commonly used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of esters, amides, and other derivatives. Due to its reactivity, it must be handled with care, as it can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area, are essential when working with this compound.

4-Methylvaleryl chloride

CAS: 38136-29-7

4-Methylvaleryl chloride (4MVC) is a thionyl chloride that reacts with 2-pentenoic acid to produce 4-methylvaleric acid. It has been used as a pharmaceutical intermediate and as a potent inhibitor of side-chain cleavage reactions. The reaction time required for the formation of 4MVC depends on the reaction temperature. At room temperature, it takes approximately one hour to form; at 60 degrees Celsius, it takes approximately five minutes to form.
