Pentanoic acid,2-bromo-2-propyl-, ethyl ester

Description:

Pentanoic acid, 2-bromo-2-propyl-, ethyl ester, with the CAS number 99174-91-1, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from pentanoic acid and 2-bromo-2-propyl alcohol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chains. The presence of the bromine atom introduces unique reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. Its molecular structure contributes to its physical properties, such as boiling and melting points, which are influenced by the size of the alkyl groups and the presence of the bromine substituent. Pentanoic acid derivatives are often utilized in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as esters can be irritants and may pose environmental hazards.
