5-Chloropentanal (CAS 2674-98-8) is a key chlorinated aldehyde intermediate with molecular formula C5H9ClO. It is primarily synthesized via the oxidation of 5-chloropentan-1-ol or hydroformylation of 4-pentenyl chloride under controlled industrial conditions.
Strictly store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Requires PPE due to skin irritation risks and potential volatility. Not approved for direct clinical use; handling must comply with OSHA safety standards.
