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 .
There are three isomers of unbranched monobromopentane: 1-Bromopentane 2-Bromopentane (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.
