Description:(2-Bromoethyl)-Cyclopropane, with the CAS number 36982-56-6, is an organic compound characterized by its cyclopropane ring structure substituted with a bromoethyl group. This compound typically exhibits a colorless to pale yellow liquid form and has a relatively low boiling point, indicative of its small molecular size and the presence of non-polar bonds. The bromoethyl group introduces reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. Its cyclopropane moiety contributes to unique strain and reactivity patterns, often leading to ring-opening reactions under certain conditions. The compound is generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. Safety considerations include handling it in a well-ventilated area and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as halogenated compounds can pose health risks. Overall, (2-bromoethyl)-Cyclopropane serves as an important building block in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules.
