2-Bromooctanoic acid

Description:
2-Bromooctanoic acid is a carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a bromine atom at the second carbon of an octanoic acid chain. Its molecular formula is C8H15BrO2, and it features a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail, which contributes to its amphiphilic nature. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature. It has a relatively low solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics but can dissolve in organic solvents. 2-Bromooctanoic acid is known for its applications in organic synthesis, particularly as a reagent in the preparation of various brominated compounds. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential biological activities, including its role as an inhibitor in certain enzymatic processes. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks, including skin and respiratory irritation. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate environmental impact.
