6-Bromo-1-hexene(CAS: 2695-47-8)

6-Bromo-1-hexene (CAS: 2695-47-8) is a colorless liquid with a molecular weight of approximately 134.04 g/mol. It has a low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone. Chemically, it is relatively stable but can undergo bromination reactions and polymerization under certain conditions.

6-Bromo-1-hexene is typically synthesized via the bromination of hexene in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst such as aluminum bromide. The process involves the nucleophilic attack of bromide ions on the double bond of hexene, followed by workup and isolation of the product.

6-Bromo-1-hexene (CAS: 2695-47-8) is utilized in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of certain chemical intermediates and in the polymer industry for the production of functionalized polymers. It also finds applications in sensor technology and as a reagent in organic synthesis.

Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat should be worn when handling 6-Bromo-1-hexene. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and ignition sources. In the event of a spill, it should be cleaned up using appropriate spill cleanup procedures and the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) should be consulted for guidance.
