Description:7-Bromo-1-heptanol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a bromine atom and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a seven-carbon straight-chain alkane. Its molecular structure features a bromine substituent at the seventh carbon position, which influences its reactivity and physical properties. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid, exhibiting moderate solubility in water due to the hydroxyl group, while also being soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the bromine atom makes it a potential candidate for nucleophilic substitution reactions, allowing for further chemical modifications. Additionally, 7-bromo-1-heptanol can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its properties, such as boiling point and density, are influenced by the molecular weight and the functional groups present. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks due to the reactivity of the bromine atom and the potential for skin and respiratory irritation.
