1 Brompentane (MF: C5H11Br, MW: 151.04) is a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid with a strong, pungent odor; it is a straight-chain saturated monobromoalkane. It is sparingly soluble in water but miscible with most organic solvents. It is chemically reactive and readily undergoes SN2 nucleophilic substitution reactions. As an important alkylating agent and intermediate in organic synthesis, it is widely used in the pharmaceutical, dye, and fragrance industries.
