Description

1,3-Dibromo-2,2-dimethylpropane is a chemical compound that has been used for the preparation of various products. It is a colorless liquid with a boiling point of about 100°C and can be prepared by reacting phosphorus pentachloride with an enolate generated from 2-bromopropanol. This reaction system can also be used to prepare 1,3-dibromo-1,1,2-trimethylpropane. The chloride ion reacts with the Grignard reagent to form the desired product and hydrochloric acid as the byproduct. X-ray crystal structures have been obtained for both of these reactions. 1,3-Dibromo-2,2-dimethylpropane is also an intermediate in the synthesis of angiotensinogen by reacting it with phosphorus oxychloride and then hydrolyzing it with trifluoroacetic acid.
