• Description: 5-Acetoxy-3-chloro-2-pentanone is a thioformamide that is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of vitamin B1. It is also a precursor to formic acid and formaldehyde, which are used in the production of dyes and other chemical products. 5-Acetoxy-3-chloro-2-pentanone is synthesized by reacting hydroxylamine with acetyl chloride. The reaction proceeds via a nucleophilic substitution reaction. This product has a high yield and can be produced with various alkyl groups, such as 1-4C, 2C, 3C, 4C, 5C, 6C, 7C, 8C or 9C. 5-Acetoxy-3-chloro-2-pentanone can be used to produce formic acid or formaldehyde by reacting it with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide respectively.
