Bicyclo[2.1.1]hexane, 2-bromo- (9CI)

Description:

Bicyclo[2.1.1]hexane, 2-bromo- (9CI) is a bicyclic organic compound characterized by its unique bicyclic structure, which consists of two fused cyclopropane rings. The presence of a bromine atom at the second carbon position introduces a halogen substituent, which can significantly influence the compound's reactivity and physical properties. This compound is typically colorless to pale yellow and may exhibit a distinct odor. It is relatively stable under standard conditions but can undergo reactions typical of alkyl halides, such as nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions. The bromine substituent can also enhance the compound's polarity, affecting its solubility in various solvents. Bicyclo[2.1.1]hexane derivatives are of interest in synthetic organic chemistry and materials science due to their unique structural properties and potential applications in the development of novel materials and pharmaceuticals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks associated with brominated compounds.

Formula: C₆H₉Br
