5-Chlorovaleric acid (CAS 1120-78-5) is a chlorinated organic intermediate with the molecular formula C5H9ClO2. It is primarily synthesized via the chlorination of glutaric acid derivatives or oxidation of chloropentane. This compound serves as a critical building block for synthesizing pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from oxidizers. Handle with appropriate PPE due to corrosive nature; avoid inhalation and skin contact. Strictly regulated for industrial use only, not for direct human consumption.
