- Valeric acid, 5-cyano-
5-Cyanopentanoic acid is an activating reagent that is used in the oxidation of alcohols and amines. It reacts with aldehydes, ketones, nitriles, and esters to form carboxylic acids. 5-Cyanopentanoic acid can also be used to form acyl cyanides from aldehydes and acetals. This substance inhibits microbial growth by reacting with the amino groups on microbial cell surfaces. 5-Cyanopentanoic acid has been shown to react with nucleophiles such as methyl alcohol or carbamic acid to form a bidentate ligand. The reaction mechanism for this process is similar to that of a nucleophile attacking an electrophile.END>
