Bromobutyric acids
As Brombuttersäuren or Brombutansäuren be bromine derivatives of butyric acid , respectively.
Isomers
Depending on the number of hydrogen atoms replaced by bromine, one speaks of monobromobutyric acid, dibromobutyric acid, tribromobutyric acid, tetrabromobutyric acid, etc. Since these still differ in the arrangement of the bromine and the stereochemistry , these in turn are divided into several isomers. In the case of monobromobutyric acid, for example, there are 2-bromobutyric acid (two enantiomers ), 3-bromobutyric acid (two enantiomers) and 4-bromobutyric acid . There are several stereoisomers of 2,3-dibromobutyric acid and 2,4-dibromobutyric acid of dibromobutyric acid . In the case of tribromobutyric acid, for example, there are 2,3,4-tribromobutyric acid (several stereoisomers) and 4,4,4-tribromobutyric acid .
use
Bromobutyric acids are used as intermediate products in the production of other chemical compounds. 2-bromobutyric acid is a classic starting compound for the synthesis of amino acids . 2,4-Dibromobutyric acid is used for the synthesis of fine chemicals .
