2-Methyl-1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione is a chemical intermediate that belongs to the group of alkyl bromides. It is used as an herbicide and a pesticide, and can be reduced to 2-methyl-2-(4'-bromophenyl)pentanal by reductive cleavage with chlorine. The reduction of 2-methyl-1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione by hydrogen gas leads to the diastereoisomers 2-(4'-bromophenyl)-2-(2'-methylpropionyl)pentanal and 3-(4'-bromophenyl)-2-(2'-methylpropionyl)pentanal. The former is a chiral molecule that can be used as a medicine for high blood pressure, while the latter has been shown to be effective against microbial strains such as Escherichia coli and Candida albicans.
