CAS 4897-84-1: Methyl 4-bromobutyrate
Description:Methyl 4-bromobutyrate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, specifically derived from butyric acid and methanol, with a bromine atom attached to the fourth carbon of the butyl chain. Its molecular formula is C5H9BrO2, and it features a moderate molecular weight. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, indicative of its ester nature. Methyl 4-bromobutyrate is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. It is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, owing to its reactivity as an electrophile in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, it can serve as a building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate protective equipment should be used.
