1-(2-BROMO-ETHYL)-2-METHYL-BENZENE

Description:
1-(2-Bromoethyl)-2-methyl-benzene, also known by its CAS number 16793-90-1, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a bromine atom attached to a two-carbon ethyl group, which is further connected to a methyl-substituted benzene ring. This compound features a bromine substituent that enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis applications, particularly in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. The presence of the methyl group on the benzene ring contributes to its hydrophobic nature and influences its physical properties, such as boiling and melting points. Typically, compounds like this exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water due to their hydrophobic characteristics. Additionally, the bromine atom can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making this compound valuable in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as brominated compounds can be hazardous and may pose environmental risks.
