ethyl 3-bromo-2-oxobutanoate

Description:

Ethyl 3-bromo-2-oxobutanoate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and a bromo substituent on the carbon chain. It features a five-carbon backbone with a keto group (C=O) at the second position and a bromine atom at the third position, contributing to its reactivity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, indicative of its ester nature. It is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. Ethyl 3-bromo-2-oxobutanoate can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and condensation reactions, making it useful in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the bromine atom, which can act as a leaving group in substitution reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
