Do 1-Bromo-2-methylbutane and 2-Methylbutyl Bromide refer to the same CAS number?

Yes. These names are alternative nomenclature forms used to describe the same chemical substance corresponding to CAS 104-63-2.

Is 1-Bromo-2-methylbutane mainly used as an industrial intermediate?

It is commonly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis processes, where controlled alkyl halide reactivity is required within industrial reaction systems.

1-Bromo-2-methylbutane CAS 104-63-2

1-Bromo-2-methylbutane, also known as 2-Methylbutyl Bromide, is a branched alkyl bromide used as an organic intermediate in chemical synthesis. It is characterized by a primary carbon–bromine bond on a branched alkyl chain, enabling participation in substitution or coupling reactions where controlled alkyl halide reactivity is required. 1-Bromo-2-methylbutane (CAS 104-63-2) is typically applied in organic synthesis intermediate production, serving as an alkylating building block within multi-step industrial chemical processes.

Application Areas

Organic synthesis: used as an alkylating reagent to introduce 2-methylbutyl groups.
Pharmaceutical intermediates: involved in the synthesis of drugs or bioactive molecules.
Materials science: the preparation of organic compounds or polymer materials with special functions.
Research purpose: Used in the laboratory for studying reaction mechanisms or developing new compounds

Storage conditions

Sealed and protected from light: Store in a brown glass bottle, away from light (bromide is prone to photolysis).
Dry and cool: Keep in a well ventilated and cool place, away from heat and fire sources. It is recommended to store at a temperature of 2-8 ° C.
Inert environment: Nitrogen can be filled for protection to reduce the risk of oxidation or decomposition.
Separate storage: Store separately from oxidants, strong bases, and active metals such as sodium and potassium.

Safety precautions

Personal protection: Wear chemical goggles, chemical resistant gloves (such as nitrile/chloroprene rubber), and lab coats.
Fire and explosion prevention: Flammable liquids, keep away from open flames and static electricity, use explosion-proof electrical equipment.
Emergency measures:
Skin contact: Immediately rinse with soapy water and plenty of water.
Eye contact: Rinse with physiological saline or clean water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
Inhalation: Transfer to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered.
Waste disposal: Dispose of in accordance with local regulations and do not discharge indiscriminately (which may pollute the environment).
