Pentanoyl chloride is an acyl chloride derived from pentanoic acid. It is a colorless liquid that is used to attach the valeroyl group. It is usually produced by chlorination of valeric acid.[1]

Reactions
Like related acyl chlorides, valeryl chloride hydrolyzes readily:
- CH3(CH2)3C(O)Cl + H2O → CH3(CH2)3CO2H + HCl
Alcohols react to give esters:
- CH3(CH2)3C(O)Cl + ROH → CH3(CH2)3CO2R + HCl
Amines react to give amides:
- CH3(CH2)3C(O)Cl + R2NH → CH3(CH2)3C(O)NR2 + HCl
Benzene reacts under conditions of the Friedel-Crafts reaction to give valerophenone:
- CH3(CH2)3C(O)Cl + C6H6 → CH3(CH2)3C(O)C6H5 + HCl
gollark: https://github.com/Overv/vramfs if anyone *is* that insane.
gollark: I plan to, around 2020 or so, get another 8GB of RAM, maybe a Ryzen 3000 8-core, and then either Navi, whatever inevitably kind of overpriced stuff Nvidia comes out with, or one of those Intel GPUs.
gollark: Bad deal, buy an RX 570 or something. Retroactively.
gollark: Poorly!
gollark: If I had a Radeon 7 or something that might be worthwhile, but my GPU's got 2GB of that.
