Description:1-Bromoheptadecane, with the CAS number 3508-00-7, is a linear alkyl halide characterized by the presence of a bromine atom attached to a heptadecane backbone, which consists of 17 carbon atoms. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is typically insoluble in water due to its long hydrophobic carbon chain, but it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The presence of the bromine atom introduces reactivity, making it useful in various organic synthesis applications, including nucleophilic substitution reactions. Its molecular structure contributes to its physical properties, such as a relatively high boiling point compared to shorter-chain alkyl halides. Additionally, 1-bromoheptadecane can be used in the study of surfactants and as a reagent in the synthesis of other organic compounds. As with many halogenated compounds, it is important to handle 1-bromoheptadecane with care due to potential health and environmental hazards associated with brominated organic compounds.
