Hexanoic acid, 2-bromo-, ethyl ester

Description:

Hexanoic acid, 2-bromo-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 2-bromohexanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from hexanoic acid and 2-bromopropanol. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor. The compound is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the hydrophobic hexanoic acid chain and the polar ester group. Its molecular structure includes a six-carbon chain, a bromine atom at the second carbon, and an ethyl group attached to the carboxylic acid moiety. Hexanoic acid derivatives are often used in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. The presence of the bromine atom can enhance reactivity, making it useful in substitution reactions. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
