Propanoic acid, 2-bromo-, butyl ester, also known as butyl 2-bromopropanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from propanoic acid and butanol. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor. The presence of the bromine atom at the second carbon of the propanoic acid backbone influences its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis applications, particularly in organic chemistry. This compound is generally soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic butyl group. Its boiling point and melting point can vary based on purity and specific conditions. As with many esters, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, reverting to the corresponding acid and alcohol. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials is recommended to maintain its stability.
