1-Bromo-2-methylpentane is an organic halide featuring a bromine atom attached to the first carbon of a 2-methylpentane backbone. This compound is widely used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for alkylation reactions in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Its reactivity stems from the bromine atom, which can be displaced in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it a valuable building block in creating more complex molecules for industrial and research applications.
