1-chloropentane is a chemical compound from the group of aliphatic saturated halogenated hydrocarbons .

Extraction and presentation

1-chloropentane can be obtained by reacting 1-pentanol with hydrochloric acid . The reaction of pentane with chlorine is also possible, the isomeric 2-chloropentane and 3-chloropentane also being formed.

properties

1-chloropentane is a volatile, colorless liquid with a sweetish odor that is sparingly soluble in water. The normal pressure boiling point is 107.8 ° C. According to August, the vapor pressure function results from lg (P) = −A / T + B ( P in Torr, T in K) with A = 1892 and B = 7.8573 in the temperature range from 10 ° C to 50 ° C. It decomposes slowly in the presence of oxygen when heated, but even at normal temperature when exposed to light, which can produce hydrogen chloride , phosgene and dioxin .

Safety-related parameters

1-chloropentane forms highly flammable vapor-air mixtures. The compound has a flash point at 3 ° C. The explosion range is between 1.4% by volume (60 g / m 3 ) as the lower explosion limit (LEL) and 8.6% by volume (380 g / m 3 ) as the upper explosion limit (UEL). The ignition temperature is 255 ° C. The substance therefore falls into temperature class T3.

use

1-chloropentane is used as a solvent , as a reference substance for gas chromatography , for soil disinfection and the synthesis of other pentyl halides. Hexanenitrile can be obtained by reaction with sodium cyanide .
