Pentanoic acid, 2-bromo-4-methyl-, methyl ester

Description:
Pentanoic acid, 2-bromo-4-methyl-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 2-bromo-4-methylpentanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from pentanoic acid. It features a bromine atom and a methyl group on the second and fourth carbon atoms of the pentanoic acid chain, respectively. 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 and exhibits moderate polarity due to the presence of the ester group. The compound is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the bromine substituent, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many brominated compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to mitigate risks associated with exposure.
