Chemistry:Bromopentane
From HandWiki
Short description: Group of chemical compounds
Bromopentanes are a group of bromoalkanes consisting of pentane isomers with one or more hydrogen atoms replaced by bromine atoms. They have the formula C5H12–nBrn, where n = 1–12 is the number of bromine atoms. They are colorless liquids.
Monobromopentane
Monobromopentanes are bromopentanes containing one bromine atom, with the formula C
5H
11Br.
There are three isomers of unbranched monobromopentane:
- 1-Bromopentane
- 2-Bromopentane[1] (chiral)
- 3-Bromopentane
There are four isomers of monobromopentane based on 2-methylbutane:
- 1-Bromo-2-methylbutane (chiral)
- 1-Bromo-3-methylbutane
- 2-Bromo-2-methylbutane
- 2-Bromo-3-methylbutane (chiral)
2,2-Dimethylpropane has only one monobrominated derivative, 1-bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane, also known as neopentyl bromide.[2]
