Steps:

1 Example 1
Preparation of 2-chloropentane (5: X=Cl)
2-Pentanol (4) (296.71 g, 3.366 mol), pyridine (479.25 g, 6.06 mol), and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) (1009.80 g) were added to a reactor at room temperature and stirred at from 0 to 5° C. for 18 minutes.
Next, methanesulfonyl chloride (MsCl) (6: X=Cl, R=Me) (539.81 g, 4.71 mol) was added dropwise to the reactor at an internal temperature of 10° C. or below.
After the completion of the dropwise addition, the reaction mixture was heated to an internal temperature of from 60 to 65° C. and stirred for 11.5 hours.
After lowering the internal temperature to 30° C., acetic acid (363.83 g) and water (1683.00 g) were added to the reaction mixture to cause phase separation and the aqueous phase thus obtained was removed.
Then, sodium hydrogen carbonate (84.15 g) and water (841.50 g) were added to the organic phase to wash the same, followed by phase separation and removal of the aqueous phase.
The organic phase thus obtained was concentrated at a reduced pressure and the residue was subjected to distillation at a reduced pressure to obtain 2-chloropentane (5: X=Cl) (300.80 g, 2.82 mol) in a yield of 83.8%. 1-Chloropentane and 1-pentene, i.e., regioisomers of 2-chloropentane (5: X=Cl), was not observed in GC analysis.
The following is the spectrum data of the 2-chloropentane (5: X=Cl) thus prepared.
