General description

1-Bromo-4-methylpentane can be synthesized by treating 4-methyl-1-pentanol with phosphorous tribromide. The conformational analysis of its liquid-state and solid-state IR and Raman spectra and showed the presence of a mixture of PC,PH, and PH conformers.

Application

1-Bromo-4-methylpentane may be used in the synthesis of:
  • diethyl 2-(4′-methylpentyl)malonate
  • 1,3-bis(4-(isopentyloxy)phenyl)urea
  • 1,3-bis(4-(isopentyloxy)phenyl)thiourea
  • 13-methyl-1-[(tetrahydropyran-2-yl)oxy]tetradec-8-yne
  • 15-methyl-1-[(tetrahydropyran-2-yl)oxy]hexadec-10-yne
