Cas no 5891-21-4 (5-chloropentan-2-one)

5-Chloropentan-2-one (CAS 5891-21-4) is a chlorinated ketone with the molecular formula C?H?ClO. This clear to pale yellow liquid is characterized by its reactive α-chloroketone functionality, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. It is particularly useful in nucleophilic substitution reactions, cyclizations, and as a precursor for heterocyclic compounds. The compound's moderate volatility and solubility in common organic solvents enhance its utility in laboratory and industrial applications. Its structural features enable efficient derivatization, supporting the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. Proper handling is required due to its potential lachrymatory effects and reactivity with nucleophiles. Storage under inert conditions is recommended to maintain stability.
