CAS 89631-99-2

Tetradecane, 2-bromo-1-chloro-

Description:

Tetradecane, 2-bromo-1-chloro- (CAS 89631-99-2) is an organic compound characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, specifically a tetradecane backbone, which consists of 14 carbon atoms. The presence of bromine and chlorine substituents at the 2 and 1 positions, respectively, indicates that it is a halogenated alkane. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is expected to be relatively non-polar due to its long hydrocarbon chain, which influences its solubility in organic solvents rather than in water. The halogen substituents can impart unique reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis applications, including organic reactions such as nucleophilic substitutions. Additionally, the presence of these halogens may affect its physical properties, such as boiling and melting points, as well as its reactivity and stability under different conditions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as halogenated alkanes can pose health and environmental risks.
