Description

2-Bromo-3-methylbutyrylbromide is a pyrazolone that has analgesic properties. The mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it has been shown to block the pain pathway by inhibiting the release of prostaglandins. 2-Bromo-3-methylbutyrylbromide may also act as an additive in medicinal preparations to increase the rate of reaction.
2-Bromo-3-methylbutyrylbromide can be synthesized in high yield by reacting bromine with 2,3-dimethylbutane at room temperature. This reaction is catalyzed by a chloride ion, which increases the rate of reaction. The mechanistic pathways are not yet fully understood, but are likely to involve substitution reactions with electrophilic bromine and chloride ions.
