Description

Chlorocyclopentane (CAS 930-28-9) is a high-purity organic compound with the molecular formula C₅H₉Cl, widely utilized in synthetic chemistry and research applications. This colorless to pale yellow liquid is characterized by its cyclopentane backbone substituted with a reactive chlorine atom, making it a versatile intermediate for nucleophilic substitution reactions, ring-opening polymerizations, and functional group transformations. With a boiling point of approximately 113-114°C and a density of 1.00 g/mL at 25°C, it is compatible with a range of organic solvents, including ethers and hydrocarbons. Our product is rigorously tested for purity (typically ≥98% by GC) and is supplied in sealed containers under inert gas to ensure stability. Ideal for pharmaceutical synthesis, agrochemical development, and materials science research, Chlorocyclopentane is a critical building block for advanced chemical synthesis.

Application

Chlorocyclopentane serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of cyclopentane-derived pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. It is commonly employed in nucleophilic substitution reactions to introduce cyclopentyl groups into target molecules. Researchers also utilize it in polymer chemistry as a monomer for ring-opening polymerizations. Its reactivity makes it valuable in catalytic cross-coupling reactions and as a solvent modifier in certain industrial processes.
