Application

Ethyl 6,8-dichlorooctanoate may be used as a starting material in the synthesis of 6-selenolipoic acid and α-lipoic acid derivatives, which show potent anticancer activity.
It may also be used as a starting material to synthesize:
  • 6,8-Dibenzylmercaptooctanoic acid, an intermediate for the preparation of DL-α-lipoic acid.
  • Ethyl 5,7-dichloroheptanoate, an intermediate for the preparation of DL-1,2-dithiolane-3-butyric acid.
  • 7-Bromo-1,3-dichloroheptane, an intermediate for the preparation of DL-12-dithiolane-3-butanesulfonamide.
