6-Chlorohexanoic acid（Cat No.:L013842）is a chlorinated aliphatic carboxylic acid with a chlorine atom attached to the 6-position of a hexanoic acid chain. This compound is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. The presence of the chlorine atom at the 6-position enhances the molecule’s reactivity in various organic reactions, such as nucleophilic substitution and electrophilic aromatic substitution. It also serves as a building block for the production of more complex molecules in material science, and its carboxyl group allows for further functionalization.
