Conclusions

A synthetic method of preparing 5-bromopentanoic acid was develope by oxidation of cyclopentanone with aqueous solutions of H2O2. Subsequent decomposition of the resulting hydroperoxide of cyclopentanone was accomplished with a catalytic quantity of copper salt in the presence of alkali bromides.
