5-Bromovaleric acid Usage And Synthesis

Description

5-Bromovaleric acid is an important raw material for organic synthesis and a commonly used reagent for chemical reactions. It can be used in the synthesis of the natural mosquito egg-laying pheromone red-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolactone, alkylammonium amphoteric amino acid derivatives and water-soluble nanoplatelets.

Chemical Properties

yellowish to light brown crystals or cryst. powder

Application

5-Bromovaleric acid was used in the preparation of:

• 5-(3-dimethylammonio)propylammonio pentanoate bromide via reaction with 1,1-dimethyl-1,3-propylenediamine
• nanodiamond functionalized by carboxylic acid groups
• water-soluble nanoplatelets of potassium graphite

Uses

5-Bromovaleric acid is used in the synthesis of inhibitors for aminoglycoside resistant bacteria. 5-Bromovaleric acid is also used in the preparation of sequence specific base pair mimics as topoisomerase IB inhibitors.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the acid from pet ether. [Beilstein 2 IV 883.]
