5-Bromo-1-pentene Introduction

5-Bromo-1-pentene is also known as 5-Bromopent-1-ene. 5-Bromo-1-pentene was used in the stereoselective synthesis of 7α-(3-carboxypropyl)estradiol. Thioacetates 11 for the preparation of sialic acids with thioglycosidic linkages. It has also been used as a starting material for the recent synthesis of DL-histotoxins and benzophenone-containing fatty acids.
