1-Bromopentan-2-ol is an additive that is used in lubricating preparations, as well as a solvent in spectroscopy. It has been shown to have antimicrobial properties against fungi and bacteria. 1-Bromopentan-2-ol's antimicrobial effects are due to its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria by binding to amine groups on proteins and preventing the formation of new cell walls. 1-Bromopentan-2-ol also has the ability to react with formaldehyde, generating formaldehyde gas which inhibits microbial growth.
