4-Chlorobutyryl Chloride is an active acid chloride intermediate predominantly utilized in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and polymer sectors. It is structurally obtained from γ-chlorobutyric acid and serves as an essential building block for the synthesis of acylated compounds, particularly in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), fine chemicals, and specialty resins. Due to its combination of halogen and acyl functional groups, the compound demonstrates significant reactivity, making it useful in acylation processes, esterifications, and the development of chlorinated scaffolds.
