:2,4-Dibromopentane
Description:
2,4-Dibromopentane is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a five-carbon alkane chain (pentane) with bromine substituents at the 2nd and 4th carbon positions. This compound is a member of the haloalkane family, specifically a dibrominated derivative of pentane. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and exhibits a relatively low volatility. The presence of bromine atoms contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis. 2,4-Dibromopentane is also notable for its potential use in studying the effects of halogenated compounds on biological systems. Its physical properties, such as boiling point and solubility, are influenced by the bromine substituents, which increase molecular weight and polarity compared to non-brominated pentane. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks due to its halogenated nature.
