Chemistry:2-Bromopentane
From HandWiki
2-Bromopentane is a bromoalkane and isomer of bromopentane. It is a colorless liquid. 2-Bromopentane is chiral and thus can be obtained as either of two stereoisomers designated as (R)-2-bromopentane and (S)-2-bromopentane, or as a racemic 1:1 mixture of the two enantiomers.
Applications
2-Bromopentane is an organic synthetic compound that can be used in cross-coupling reactions.[1] It is also used as an intermediate in organic synthesis.[2]
Synthesis
2-Bromopentane, along with 3-bromopentane, may be produced by the bromination of 2-pentanol. This has historically been performed using hydrogen bromide gas, aqueous sulfuric and hydrobromic acid mixtures, and phosphorus tribromide.[3]
