CAS 26330-51-8: Methyl 2-bromo-3-methylbutyrate

Description: Methyl 2-bromo-3-methylbutyrate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from the reaction of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. It features a branched alkyl chain, specifically a 3-methylbutyrate structure, with a bromine atom attached to the second carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, indicative of its ester nature. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. Methyl 2-bromo-3-methylbutyrate is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, owing to its reactivity as a brominated compound. Additionally, it may serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.
