5-Chlorovaleric acid is obtained by reacting 1,4-dichlorobutane with potassium cyanide or sodium hydride using a phase transfer catalysis method to produce 5-chlorovalerate, which is then hydrolyzed in an acidic aqueous solution.
Colorless or light color clear liquid
5-Chlorovaleric acid was used to derivatize L-hydroxyproline for the synthesis of haptens HP1 and HP2. These haptens were used in the preparation of antibodies against L-hydroxyproline.
