2,2-Dibromopropane (594-16-1) (201.89 g/mol)

2,2-Dibromopropane is a halogenated aliphatic compound with two bromine atoms attached to the second carbon of a three-carbon propane chain. It appears as a colorless liquid and is moderately soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and chloroform. The presence of two bromine atoms on the same carbon makes it highly reactive, enabling a variety of chemical transformations including substitution, coupling, and elimination reactions.
It is primarily used as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis, supporting the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. It is also employed in research laboratories for developing novel compounds and intermediates, making 2,2-Dibromopropane a versatile reagent for constructing complex molecules in chemical industries.
