5-Bromovaleryl chloride (CAS 14289-66-0, C5H8BrClO) is a reactive acyl halide used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis. It is typically produced via the chlorination of 5-bromovaleric acid using thionyl chloride or phosphorus pentachloride under anhydrous conditions.
Strictly store in cool, dry, and well-ventilated areas away from moisture to prevent hydrolysis. Use appropriate PPE including chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection due to severe corrosivity and lachrymatory effects upon exposure to air.
