methyl 2,4-dibromobutyrate

Description:

Methyl 2,4-dibromobutyrate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, derived from butyric acid and methyl alcohol. It features a butyrate backbone with two bromine substituents located at the 2 and 4 positions of the carbon chain. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Methyl 2,4-dibromobutyrate is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, owing to its reactivity and ability to undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions. The presence of bromine atoms enhances its electrophilic character, making it a useful intermediate in chemical reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as brominated compounds can be hazardous. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to minimize environmental impact and health risks.
