Description:1-Bromo-5-fluoropentane is an organic compound classified as a haloalkane, specifically a substituted pentane. Its molecular formula is C5H10BrF, indicating the presence of five carbon atoms, ten hydrogen atoms, one bromine atom, and one fluorine atom. This compound is characterized by its linear chain structure, where the bromine atom is attached to the first carbon and the fluorine atom is attached to the fifth carbon of the pentane chain. 1-Bromo-5-fluoropentane is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a moderate boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents. It exhibits reactivity typical of haloalkanes, participating in nucleophilic substitution reactions, which makes it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds. Additionally, due to the presence of both bromine and fluorine, it may exhibit unique properties such as increased polarity and potential for specific interactions in chemical reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
