5-Benzoylvaleric acid

Description:

5-Benzoylvaleric acid, with the CAS number 4144-62-1, is an organic compound characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group and a benzoyl substituent. It typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, though its solubility in water is limited. The compound features a five-carbon aliphatic chain (valeric acid) attached to a benzoyl group, which contributes to its unique chemical properties. It is known for its potential applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of the benzoyl group enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including acylation and esterification. Additionally, 5-benzoylvaleric acid may exhibit biological activity, although specific studies on its pharmacological properties may be limited. As with many organic compounds, proper handling and safety precautions are essential due to potential irritant properties.

5-Benzoylpentanoic acid

CAS: 4144-62-1

5-Benzoylpentanoic acid is a chemical compound that has been shown to be an effective bactericidal agent against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is synthesized by the hydrogenation reduction of 5-benzoylpentanal, which is obtained from the oxidation of benzaldehyde with nitric acid. The synthesis of 5-benzoylpentanoic acid can be carried out in two steps: first, a benzaldehyde ester is obtained by reacting benzaldehyde with methyl acrylate in the presence of a base; second, the ester reacts with sodium hydroxide to produce 5-benzoylpentanoic acid. This chemical is also an organic solvent that can be used in the organic synthesis of other compounds. This compound has been shown to have inhibitory activity against oxocarboxylic anions such as phosphoric acid and perchloric acid.
