:propan-2-yl 2-bromopropanoate
Description:
Propan-2-yl 2-bromopropanoate, also known as isopropyl 2-bromopropanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It is derived from the reaction of isopropanol and 2-bromopropanoic acid. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chains. Propan-2-yl 2-bromopropanoate is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various brominated compounds and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the bromine atom, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety considerations include handling it in a well-ventilated area and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
