1-Bromo-5-chloropentane (CAS NO : 54512-75-3)

1-Bromo-5-chloropentane (54512-75-3 and 5451-27-5) is a high-purity, bifunctional halogenated alkane that serves as a flexible "carbon-5" linker in advanced chemical synthesis. Much like its shorter-chain analogs, this molecule features a terminal bromine and a terminal chlorine on a pentane backbone, offering differential reactivity. The bromine atom is significantly more labile, allowing for selective nucleophilic substitution at one end of the chain while keeping the chlorine end available for subsequent functionalisation. This specific chain length is critical in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of long-chain aliphatic spacers in APIs and in agrochemicals for creating targeted heterocyclic frameworks. By ensuring high isomeric purity and minimal moisture content, 1-Bromo-5-chloropentane provides a reliable path for high-yield, complex molecular assembly. We are a globally established 1-Bromo-5-chloropentane manufacturer & 3-Bromopropylamine hydrobromide manufacturer and various other fine chemical intermediate suppliers worldwide through comprehensive regulatory documentation (CoA), traceability, and consistent global supply capabilities, ensuring reliable lead times and quality assurance across all grades.
