5-BROMOVALERONITRILE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

CLEAR COLOURLESS TO LIGHT YELLOW LIQUID

Uses

5-Bromovaleronitrile is used to produce 5-Bromo-pentanoic acid.

Uses

5-Bromovaleronitrile can be used as a reactant to prepare:

• A key intermediate benzyl(methyl)amino)pentanenitrile, which is used in the synthesis of N-methylcadaverine.
• 1-cyanobutyl-3-alkylbenzimidazolium bromide salt by reacting with various N-alkylbenzimidazoles.
• Tridecanenitrile by Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with dioctylzinc in the presence of tetraene and MgBr₂.
