Description:1-Bromoeicosane is an organic compound classified as a halogenated alkane, specifically a brominated long-chain hydrocarbon. Its molecular formula is C20H41Br, indicating it consists of a long carbon chain with a bromine atom attached to one of the terminal carbon atoms. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, exhibiting low solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature, but it is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether. The presence of the bromine atom introduces unique reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis applications, including as a reagent in organic reactions and in the preparation of other brominated compounds. 1-Bromoeicosane has a relatively high boiling point and melting point compared to shorter-chain brominated alkanes, reflecting its larger molecular size. Additionally, it is important to handle this compound with care due to the potential health hazards associated with brominated compounds, including toxicity and environmental concerns.
