CAS 543-59-9

1-Chloropentane

Description:

1-Chloropentane, with the CAS number 543-59-9, is an organic compound classified as a haloalkane. It consists of a five-carbon straight-chain alkane (pentane) with a chlorine atom substituted at the first carbon position. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic odor. It is moderately soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The presence of the chlorine atom imparts polar characteristics to the molecule, influencing its reactivity and physical properties. 1-Chloropentane can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it useful in organic synthesis. It is also flammable and should be handled with care, as it can pose health risks through inhalation or skin contact. Additionally, it is important to note that 1-chloropentane can participate in various chemical reactions, including elimination reactions under certain conditions, leading to the formation of alkenes. Proper storage and handling protocols should be followed to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
