2,3-Dibromobutane

Description:

2,3-Dibromobutane is an organic compound classified as a dibrominated derivative of butane. It has the molecular formula C4H8Br2, indicating the presence of four carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms, and two bromine atoms. This compound exists in several stereoisomeric forms due to the presence of chiral centers at the second and third carbon atoms. 2,3-Dibromobutane is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The compound is used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the bromine substituents, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, 2,3-dibromobutane can undergo elimination reactions under certain conditions, leading to the formation of alkenes. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as brominated compounds can be hazardous and may pose environmental risks.

2,3-Dibromobutane

CAS: 5408-86-6

2,3-Dibromobutane is a molecule that is used as a polarizer in liquid crystal composition. It is an elimination reaction product of bromine and ethylene, which also has the ability to inhibit hyperproliferative diseases. 2,3-Dibromobutane has been shown to have cancer-preventing properties by inhibiting the growth of tumor cells. The mechanism of this inhibition is not yet clear and may be due to its ability to react with reactive oxygen species or other intermediates involved in carcinogenesis. 2,3-Dibromobutane has been shown to form adducts with protonated molecules such as phenol or cresol, which are found in coal tar and cigarette smoke. These adducts have been shown to cause mutations and increase the risk for cancer.
