Description:1-Bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane, with the CAS number 630-17-1, is an organic compound classified as a haloalkane. It features a bromine atom attached to a carbon chain that includes two methyl groups on the second carbon, resulting in a branched structure. This compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits a relatively low boiling point compared to other haloalkanes due to its molecular weight and branching. It is non-polar and insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform. The presence of the bromine atom makes it a reactive species, capable of participating in nucleophilic substitution reactions, which are common in organic synthesis. Additionally, 1-bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane can be used as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it can be harmful if inhaled or ingested, and may cause skin irritation.
