CAS 24764-97-4
:Butanal, 2-bromo-
Description:
2-Bromobutanal is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a bromine atom and an aldehyde functional group within a four-carbon chain. Its molecular structure features a bromine substituent on the second carbon of the butanal backbone, which influences its reactivity and physical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, indicative of aldehydes. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the polar nature of the aldehyde group. 2-Bromobutanal can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and substitution reactions, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. Its reactivity is enhanced by the presence of the bromine atom, which can facilitate further transformations. As with many halogenated compounds, it is important to handle 2-bromobutanal with care, as it may pose health risks and environmental concerns. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.
