2,3-Dibromobutanoic acid

Description:

2,3-Dibromobutanoic acid is a halogenated fatty acid characterized by the presence of two bromine atoms attached to the second and third carbon atoms of a four-carbon butanoic acid chain. Its molecular formula is C4H6Br2O2, and it features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH), which imparts acidic properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form and purity. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic bromine substituents. The presence of bromine atoms enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various organic synthesis applications, including the preparation of other brominated compounds. Additionally, 2,3-dibromobutanoic acid can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks due to its halogenated nature.
