General description

5-Chlorovaleroyl chloride is commonly used as alkylating agent in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and other specialty chemicals.

Application

5-Chlorovaleroyl chloride (5-CVC) has been used in the development and validation of a GC-FID method for the analysis of low level impurities present in 5-CVC. It has been used in the synthesis of anion-exchange resins by acylation of polystyrene/divinylbenzene and subsequent amination with trimethylamine.
