Product Information

• Name: 1-Chloro-1-cyclopentene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Chloro-1-cyclopentene is a chlorine atom that belongs to the group of halides. It can be prepared by reacting 1,1-dichloroethane with n-butyl lithium and potassium t-butoxide in amide solvent at low temperature. The reaction product of 1-chloro-1-cyclopentene is a nucleophilic reagent for the formation of esters or amides. Chlorine atoms are also used as catalysts for many reactions involving organic compounds. They are able to react with electron rich molecules such as alkenes, alkynes, and even aromatic rings. This reaction proceeds via addition of the chlorine atom to one of the bonds on the molecule, followed by nucleophilic attack on the other bond. The chlorination process is reversible, which makes it possible to use the same molecule for both steps in an overall chemical process.
