2,2-Bis(bromomethyl)-1,3-propanediol

Description:

2,2-Bis(bromomethyl)-1,3-propanediol, with the CAS number 3296-90-0, is a chemical compound characterized by its structure, which includes two bromomethyl groups attached to a propane backbone that also contains hydroxyl (-OH) functional groups. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid and is soluble in organic solvents. It exhibits reactivity due to the presence of bromine atoms, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemical products. The hydroxyl groups contribute to its potential as a polyfunctional compound, allowing for further derivatization. Additionally, it may have applications in polymer chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of brominated polymers or as a cross-linking agent. Safety considerations include handling it with care due to its bromine content, which can be hazardous, and ensuring proper storage to prevent degradation.
