Application

5-Bromovaleronitrile can be used as a reactant to prepare:
  • A key intermediate benzyl(methyl)amino)pentanenitrile, which is used in the synthesis of N-methylcadaverine.
  • 1-cyanobutyl-3-alkylbenzimidazolium bromide salt by reacting with various N-alkylbenzimidazoles.
  • Tridecanenitrile by Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with dioctylzinc in the presence of tetraene and MgBr2.
