1-Chlorobutane(CAS: 109-69-3)

1-Chlorobutane (CAS: 109-69-3) is a colorless liquid with a density of 0.87 g/cm³ and a boiling point of 89.7°C. Its molecular weight is 98.56 g/mol. It has limited solubility in water but is highly soluble in organic solvents. Chemically, it is relatively stable but undergoes nucleophilic substitution reactions with strong nucleophiles.

1-Chlorobutane can be synthesized via the reaction of butanol with hydrochloric acid. This reaction is typically conducted in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst like aluminum chloride to improve yield and selectivity. The average yield is around 75-80%.

1-Chlorobutane (CAS: 109-69-3) is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for intermediate synthesis, in the polymer industry as a monomer, and in the chemical industry for various organic reactions. It is also utilized in the production of sensors and electronic components.

When handling 1-Chlorobutane (CAS: 109-69-3), use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Store it in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources. Fume hoods should be used during handling. In case of spillage, neutralize with an appropriate reagent and dispose of according to local regulations. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed recommendations.
