2-Bromobutyric acid

Description:
2-Bromobutyric acid is a halogenated carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a bromine atom at the second carbon of a four-carbon butyric acid chain. Its molecular formula is C4H7BrO2, and it features both a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) and a bromine substituent, which significantly influences its chemical reactivity and properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various applications in organic synthesis. 2-Bromobutyric acid can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions due to the presence of the bromine atom, which can be replaced by other nucleophiles. Additionally, it can undergo esterification and other reactions typical of carboxylic acids. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes, and proper storage conditions should be maintained to ensure stability.
