2,3-Dibromo-1,4-butanediol

Description:
2,3-Dibromo-1,4-butanediol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two bromine atoms and two hydroxyl (alcohol) functional groups on a four-carbon chain. Its molecular formula is C4H8Br2O2, indicating a relatively low molecular weight. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, which is attributed to the hydroxyl groups that enhance its polarity. 2,3-Dibromo-1,4-butanediol is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of bromine atoms imparts significant reactivity, making it useful in substitution reactions. However, due to the potential toxicity associated with brominated compounds, proper handling and safety precautions are essential when working with this substance. Additionally, it is important to consider its environmental impact and regulatory status in various jurisdictions.
