4-Chloropentanoyl chloride

Description:

4-Chloropentanoyl chloride, with the CAS number 63480-12-6, is an acyl chloride that features a five-carbon chain with a chlorine substituent at the fourth position. This compound is characterized by its reactivity, particularly due to the presence of the acyl chloride functional group, which makes it a potent electrophile. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, indicative of its reactivity with moisture and air. 4-Chloropentanoyl chloride is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ether but reacts vigorously with water, producing hydrochloric acid and the corresponding carboxylic acid. This compound is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of amides, esters, and other derivatives through acylation reactions. Safety precautions are essential when handling this substance, as it can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Proper storage in a cool, dry place, away from moisture, is crucial to maintain its stability and reactivity.
