ROLE OF 5-BROMOVALERIC ACID IN STEREOCONTROLLED SYNTHESIS

5-Bromovaleric Acid: An In-Depth Study of a Multifunctional Synthetic Intermediate    Overview 5-Bromovaleric acid (5-bromopentanoic acid) is a five-carbon, straight-chain haloalkanoic acid with dual reactive centers—an alkyl bromide and a terminal carboxylic acid. This unique bifunctionality makes it exceptionally valuable in organi
