Description:Bromoethene, also known as vinyl bromide, is an organic compound characterized by its simple structure consisting of a vinyl group (ethene) with a bromine atom attached. Its molecular formula is C2H3Br, and it is classified as a haloalkene. Bromoethene is a colorless gas at room temperature, with a slightly sweet odor. It is known for its reactivity, particularly in addition reactions due to the presence of the double bond, making it useful in various chemical syntheses. The compound is moderately soluble in organic solvents but has low solubility in water. Bromoethene is flammable and poses health risks, including potential carcinogenic effects, necessitating careful handling and storage. It is primarily used in the production of other chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it can participate in polymerization reactions, leading to the formation of polybrominated compounds. Due to its properties, bromoethene is subject to regulations concerning its use and disposal to mitigate environmental and health impacts.
