methyl 2-bromobutyrate

Description:
Methyl 2-bromobutyrate is an organic compound classified as an ester, specifically a brominated derivative of butyric acid. It features a methyl group attached to the ester functional group, which contributes to its reactivity and solubility properties. The compound has a molecular formula of C5H9BrO2, indicating the presence of five carbon atoms, nine hydrogen atoms, one bromine atom, and two oxygen atoms. Methyl 2-bromobutyrate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. This compound is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its ability to participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, it is important to handle methyl 2-bromobutyrate with care, as it may pose health hazards if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use.
