2-Bromobutyric acid is an alpha-bromo carboxylic acid used primarily in organic synthesis, including the preparation of pharmaceutical intermediates, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. It serves as a key building block in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds via substitution or elimination reactions. This clear, colorless liquid has a molecular formula of C4H7BrO2 and a melting point of 22–24°C. It is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and diethyl ether but less so in water. Molekula supplies 2-Bromobutyric acid from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
