2-Bromo-1-butanol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a bromine atom and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a four-carbon butane chain. Its molecular formula is C4H9BrO, indicating it contains four carbon atoms, nine hydrogen atoms, one bromine atom, and one oxygen atom. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in water due to the polar nature of the hydroxyl group, which allows for hydrogen bonding. 2-Bromo-1-butanol is often used as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of other brominated compounds and as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It can undergo various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions, making it a versatile building block in organic chemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.
