CAS 638-41-5

Pentyl chloroformate

Description:

Pentyl chloroformate, with the CAS number 638-41-5, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of chloroformates, which are esters of chloroformic acid. It is characterized by its molecular formula, which includes a pentyl group attached to a chloroformate functional group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. Pentyl chloroformate is known for its reactivity, particularly as a reagent in organic synthesis, where it is often used for the protection of alcohols and amines. It can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of pentanol and hydrochloric acid. Due to its reactive nature, it should be handled with care, as it can be corrosive and may cause 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.
