bromopentane
{{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 {{chem2|C5H11Br}}.
There are three isomers of unbranched monobromopentane:
- 1-Bromopentane
- 2-Bromopentane{{Cite web |last=PubChem |title=(2R)-2-bromopentane |url=https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/71446854 |access-date=2022-11-29 |website=pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov |language=en}} (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.{{Cite web |last=PubChem |title=1-Bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane |url=https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/12415 |access-date=2023-11-29 |website=pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov |language=en}}
