Product Information

• Name: 1-Bromo-2-ethylbutane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Bromo-2-ethylbutane is a branched chain hydrocarbon that has been shown to be an effective substrate for the asymmetric catalytic reduction of oxygenated compounds. This compound contains a branch that renders it more reactive than linear aliphatic molecules. The 1-bromo-2-ethylbutane molecule has been shown to react with glutathione transferase, which may be due to its ability to form alkyl thiols. It is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds. The 1-bromo-2-ethylbutane molecule is a chromophore and can exhibit optical properties such as fluorescence or phosphorescence. It also has two isomers: cis and trans.
