clear colorless to yellow liquid
3-Bromo-2-methylpropene may be used:
- in the synthesis of alkenyl imines
- in the synthesis of 2-methylpropenyl (“methallyl”) complex, Cp*Os(η3-allyl)Br2
- in a study of chiral phase transfer alkylation leading to (S)-α-alkylcysteines
3-Bromo-2-methylpropene is used as a general reagent for various organic reactions and primarily for amino acid synthesis and asymmetric amino acid synthesis.
Rotational isomerism in 3-bromo-2-methylpropene has been studied by IR spectroscopy.
