:methyl 2,4-dibromobutyrate
Description:
Methyl 2,4-dibromobutyrate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, derived from butyric acid and methanol. It features two bromine atoms attached to the second and fourth carbon atoms of the butyric acid chain, which significantly influences its chemical properties and reactivity. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. Methyl 2,4-dibromobutyrate is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various brominated compounds and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its bromine substituents can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it a valuable building block in synthetic chemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks, including irritation to the skin and respiratory system. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate environmental impact.
