2-Bromo-4-methylpentane

Description:

2-Bromo-4-methylpentane is an organic compound classified as a haloalkane, specifically a bromoalkane, due to the presence of a bromine atom in its structure. Its molecular formula is C6H13Br, indicating it consists of six carbon atoms, thirteen hydrogen atoms, and one bromine atom. This compound features a branched-chain structure, with the bromine substituent located on the second carbon and a methyl group on the fourth carbon of the pentane backbone. 2-Bromo-4-methylpentane is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its moderate volatility and solubility in organic solvents. It is used in organic synthesis, particularly in reactions involving nucleophilic substitution, where the bromine atom can be replaced by various nucleophiles. The presence of the bromine atom also imparts certain reactivity characteristics, making it a useful intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.

2-Bromo-4-methylpentane is an isomeric, branched-chain fatty acid. It has been observed to desorb from the surface of polyethylene terephthalate in a conformational fashion. This reaction was shown to be first order with respect to bromine concentration and was found to be reversible. The kinetics were found to be second order with respect to bromine concentration and first order with respect to polyethylene terephthalate surface area. The rates of the desorption of 2-bromo-4-methylpentane were found not to be affected by the presence of chloride ions.
2-Bromo-4-methylpentane can also undergo a Suzuki coupling reaction with amines in the presence of palladium catalysts and chiral phosphoric acid ligands. This reaction can produce substituted benzo[b]thiophenes, which are useful for organic synthesis reactions such as phthal
