5-Bromovaleric acid（Cat No.:R061909）is a straight-chain, five-carbon carboxylic acid with the molecular formula C5H9BrO2. It features a bromine atom at the terminal (5-) position and a carboxylic acid group at the opposite end, making it a bifunctional molecule with both nucleophilic and electrophilic sites. This colorless to pale yellow liquid is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and biologically active molecules. Its structure allows for further functionalization through nucleophilic substitution, esterification, or amidation, making it valuable in building complex molecular frameworks.
