Description:1-(4-Bromophenyl)butane-1,3-dione, with the CAS number 4023-81-8, is an organic compound characterized by its diketone structure, featuring a butane backbone with two carbonyl (C=O) groups located at the first and third positions. The presence of a 4-bromophenyl group at the first position significantly influences its chemical properties, including its reactivity and polarity. This compound is typically a yellow to orange crystalline solid, indicating its potential for various applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its bromine substituent can enhance electrophilic reactivity, making it useful in further chemical transformations. Additionally, the compound may exhibit interesting biological activities, although specific studies would be necessary to elucidate its pharmacological properties. As with many diketones, it may participate in condensation reactions, and its stability can be influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and pH. Proper handling and storage are essential due to potential hazards associated with brominated compounds.
