Dodecanoic acid, 12-bromo-, ethyl ester

Description:
Dodecanoic acid, 12-bromo-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 12-bromododecanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from dodecanoic acid (a fatty acid) and bromine substitution at the 12th carbon position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its long hydrophobic carbon chain. The presence of the bromine atom introduces unique reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis applications, particularly in organic chemistry for the introduction of bromine into other compounds. Its molecular structure contributes to its physical properties, such as boiling and melting points, which are influenced by the length of the carbon chain and the presence of the bromine atom. Safety data should be consulted, as brominated compounds can pose health risks, and appropriate handling procedures should be followed in laboratory settings.
