CAS 2270-59-9: 5-Bromo-2-methyl-2-pentene

5-Bromo-2-methyl-2-pentene acts as a synthetic reagent, which is useful in the formation of sesqueterpenoid. It is also employed in the preparation of geranlol-3-14C. Further, it is used in the preparation of penifulvin A, which is a sesquiterpenoid with a novel dioxa-fenestrane structure. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

5-Bromo-2-methyl-2-pentene is a functional group that contains an allyl group. It can be synthesized in two ways, which are either by reacting diterpenes with epoxides or by reacting magnesium with allyl bromide. This functional group has antibacterial properties and is used as a synthetic ligand for metal ions. 5-Bromo-2-methyl-2-pentene also serves as a precursor to amide compounds and can be used in molecular modeling to study the structure of alkali metals.
