:2-Bromohexanoic acid
Description:
2-Bromohexanoic acid is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a six-carbon chain (hexanoic acid) with a bromine atom attached to the second carbon. This compound is classified as a bromoalkanoic acid, making it a member of the carboxylic acid family. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. The presence of the bromine atom introduces unique reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions. 2-Bromohexanoic acid is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the polar carboxylic acid functional group. It is used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of other brominated compounds and as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical production. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks, including skin and respiratory irritation. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials is essential to maintain its stability.
