Glutaryl chloride
Glutaryl chloride (CAS 2873-74-7), with the linear formula ClCO(CH2)3COCl and a molecular weight of 169.01 g/mol, is a difunctional acyl chloride. It serves as a versatile building block in organic synthesis, particularly for the preparation of polymers, pharmaceuticals, and other complex organic molecules. Its reactivity stems from the two acid chloride groups, enabling reactions such as esterification and amidation. It is supplied by TSS at a minimum assay of 97%.
Polymer Synthesis
Glutaryl chloride can be used as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the synthesis of polyesters and polyamides. Its difunctional nature allows for the formation of linear polymer chains or network structures with specific mechanical properties.
Pharmaceutical Intermediates
It acts as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds. The reactive acyl chloride groups readily react with amines and alcohols, facilitating the construction of complex molecular architectures found in active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Organic Synthesis Reagent
As a difunctional acylating agent, glutaryl chloride is valuable for introducing the glutaryl moiety into organic molecules. This is useful in the preparation of specialty chemicals, fine chemicals, and research compounds.
