Bornyl bromide, also known by its CAS number 4443-48-5, is an organic compound characterized by its structure as a brominated derivative of bornane. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive camphor-like odor. This compound is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemical products. Bornyl bromide is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, where the bromine atom can be replaced by other nucleophiles. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. Safety considerations include its potential irritant effects on the skin and eyes, and it should be handled with appropriate precautions in a well-ventilated area. Overall, bornyl bromide serves as a valuable compound in both industrial applications and research settings, contributing to the synthesis of more complex organic molecules.

2-Bromobornane, technical

Bornyl bromide is a chemical compound with the formula C10H14O. It is a colorless liquid with a camphor-like odor. Bornyl bromide can be used as a precursor in organic synthesis, for example to convert benzyl chloride to benzyl alcohol. Bornyl bromide reacts with hydrochloric acid to form hydrogen chloride and bornylene dichloride. The reaction proceeds via an S2 type mechanism, which means that the nucleophilic substitution occurs from the less hindered side of the molecule. This reaction can be used to produce nitro compounds or fluorinated compounds. Bornyl bromide reacts with magnesium oxide at high temperatures to form magnesium bornylate and diboron tetrafluoroborate. The reaction proceeds by radical coupling of two molecules of bornyl bromide, which are both nucleophiles due to their electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group, yielding dialkylamino radicals that
