tert-butyl 2,4-dibromobutanoate

Description:
Tert-butyl 2,4-dibromobutanoate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, derived from the reaction of tert-butyl alcohol and 2,4-dibromobutanoic acid. It features a tert-butyl group, which is a branched alkyl group, contributing to its steric bulk and influencing its reactivity and solubility. The presence of two bromine atoms at the 2 and 4 positions of the butanoate chain enhances its electrophilic character, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in halogenation and substitution reactions. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents but less so in water due to its hydrophobic tert-butyl group. Its chemical stability is generally good under standard conditions, although it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong bases or acids. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks due to the presence of bromine, which is toxic and can cause irritation.
