Chemical compound
Cyclopentanecarboxylic acid is an organic compound with the formula C5H9CO2H. It is a colorless nonvolatile oil. It can be produced by the palladium-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of cyclopentene:[2]
- C5H8 + CO + H2O → C5H9CO2H
An alternative route involves base-induced ring contraction of 2-chlorocyclohexanone to give the ester methyl cyclopentanecarboxylate, which can be hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid.[3]
