Description:1-Bromoheptane is an organic compound classified as a primary alkyl halide, specifically a bromoalkane. Its molecular formula is C7H15Br, indicating it consists of a seven-carbon chain with a bromine atom attached to the first carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with a characteristic odor. It is relatively non-polar, which influences its solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. 1-Bromoheptane is used in organic synthesis as a reagent for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and as an alkylating agent. Its boiling point and density are influenced by the presence of the bromine atom, which increases molecular weight compared to its non-brominated counterparts. Additionally, it is important to handle 1-bromoheptane with care due to its potential health hazards, including skin and eye irritation, and it should be used in well-ventilated areas with appropriate safety measures.
