3-Cyclopentene-1-carboxylic acid（Cat No.:L043941）is a cyclic unsaturated carboxylic acid featuring a five-membered cyclopentene ring with a double bond and a carboxylic acid group at the 1-position. The presence of the alkene introduces reactivity for electrophilic addition, oxidation, or polymerization, while the carboxylic acid moiety enables typical transformations such as esterification, amidation, or salt formation. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and complex natural product analogs. Its strained ring system and functional groups make it valuable in synthetic and medicinal chemistry.
