1-Chlorobutane (n-Butyl Chloride) is a primary alkyl chloride with a straight-chain structure, making it highly reactive in SN2 reactions. It is commonly used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and surfactants, and as a precursor in the preparation of organometallic compounds. Its volatility and reactivity make it suitable for controlled lab-scale transformations.
