Does CAS 15146-94-8 identify a single enantiomer?

No. The structure contains a stereogenic center, but this CAS number does not define enantiomeric composition. Specify racemic, enriched or single-enantiomer material in the inquiry.

What should the COA report for 5-Chloro-2-pentanol?

Useful controls include GC assay, positional chloropentanol isomers, chlorinated by-products, residual solvents and water. Add chiral purity and method details only when the route requires them.

Can 5-Chloro-2-pentanol be evaluated before a larger order?

Sample availability depends on stereochemical form and stock. Qualification should compare conversion, selectivity, workup and impurity carryover in the intended synthesis, not assay alone.

What details are needed to quote 5-Chloro-2-pentanol?

Send the required stereochemical form, assay, impurity limits, quantity, destination and delivery timing. Include any chiral method, packaging restriction or supporting spectra needed for approval.

5-Chloro-2-pentanol CAS 15146-94-8

5-Chloro-2-pentanol , CAS 15146-94-8 and EC 825-413-0 , is 5-chloropentan-2-ol with formula C5H11ClO and molecular weight 122.59 g/mol. The molecule has a stereogenic center at carbon 2, but the CAS number alone does not specify enantiomeric composition. Buyers should state racemic, enriched or single-enantiomer requirements and control GC assay, positional isomers, chlorinated by-products, water and residual solvents.

Identity and specification

Item	Verified purchasing information
Product	5-Chloro-2-pentanol; 5-chloropentan-2-ol
CAS / EC	15146-94-8 / 825-413-0
Formula / molecular weight	C5H11ClO / 122.59 g/mol
Critical selection point	Racemic or specified enantiomeric composition

5-Chloro-2-pentanol contains both a secondary alcohol and a terminal chloride. Positional identity and stereochemical form should be confirmed because related chloropentanols and enantiomers can have different synthesis performance.

Quality controls for purchasing

Define racemic, enantiomerically enriched or single-enantiomer material and the chiral test method when required.
Set GC limits for positional isomers, chlorinated by-products, unreacted precursors and unknown impurities.
Specify water, residual solvents, color and assay basis for moisture- or selectivity-sensitive reactions.

Applications and grade selection

The chloroalcohol may be evaluated as a bifunctional fine-chemical intermediate. Suitability depends on whether the process uses the alcohol, chloride or stereocenter selectively. A sample should be tested for conversion, selectivity and impurity carryover in the intended route.

Storage and handling

Keep tightly sealed in a compatible container and protect from heat, oxidizers, strong acids and strong bases. Use the temperature and headspace conditions documented by the supplier rather than assuming refrigeration or inert gas is always required.

Documentation and quotation details

State stereochemical form, assay, isomer and water limits, residual-solvent requirements, quantity, packaging, destination and schedule. Request COA, SDS, chiral data when applicable and a sample for route qualification.
