99% Purity CAS 49851-31-2

99% Purity CAS 49851-31-2

2-Bromo-1-phenylpentan-1-one CAS 49851-31-2 is an ​α-bromo aromatic ketone​ belonging to the class of ​α-halogenated alkyl aryl ketones. It is characterized by an elongated alkyl chain (pentyl) compared to its more common propiophenone analogs. This compound serves exclusively as a ​specialized and highly reactive synthetic intermediate​ in organic chemistry, and its possession and use are subject to stringent international controls due to its role as a precursor to controlled substances.

Chemical Properties

Chemical Name:​​ 2-Bromo-1-phenylpentan-1-one

IUPAC Name:​​ 2-Bromo-1-phenylpentan-1-one

​CAS Registry Number:​​ 49851-31-2

​Molecular Formula:​​ C₁₁H₁₃BrO

​Molecular Weight:​​ 241.13 g/mol

​Chemical Structure:​​ The molecule consists of a pentanone chain (5-carbon chain with a ketone) attached to a phenyl ring at the 1-position. The defining reactive feature is a ​bromine atom attached to the alpha carbon​ (the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl group).

Appearance:​​ Typically a pale yellow to amber-colored oily liquid or low-melting solid. May crystallize upon cooling or standing.

​Melting/Boiling Point:​​ Data is less commonly reported than for shorter-chain analogs. It is expected to be a liquid at room temperature or have a low melting point (< 30°C).

​Solubility:​​ Soluble in all common organic solvents (dichloromethane, ether, ethyl acetate, acetone, DMF). Insoluble in water.

​Stability:​​ ​Highly unstable and reactive.​​ As an α-bromo ketone, it is prone to:

​Dehydrohalogenation:​​ Loss of HBr to form the corresponding α,β-unsaturated ketone.

​ Hydrolysis:​​ Conversion to the parent ketone (1-phenylpentan-1-one) and HBr.

Polymerization:​​ Especially under heat or light exposure.

​ Storage Requirement:​​ ​Must be stored refrigerated or frozen (-20°C) under an inert atmosphere (argon/nitrogen), protected from light and moisture.​​ Shelf-life is limited.

​Reactivity:​​ The α-bromine is an excellent leaving group, making this compound a potent ​electrophile. It readily undergoes nucleophilic substitution reactions, most notably with amines to form ​aminoketones.

 

Biological Activities​

2-Bromo-1-phenylpentan-1-one ​possesses no therapeutic biological activity itself. Its sole relevance is as a ​chemical precursor.

​Intermediate Role:​​ It is designed to be transformed. Its primary function in a biological context is to serve as a building block for synthesizing other compounds that may be screened for pharmacological activity.

​Pharmacophore Link:​​ The amine-substituted derivatives (e.g., cathinones) derived from such α-bromo ketones can have stimulant effects on the central nervous system, which is precisely why the precursor itself is strictly controlled.

 

Biosynthesis​

This compound is not produced via biological pathways. It is synthesized through ​chemical synthesis​ on a laboratory scale.

​Primary Synthetic Route:​​ The standard method is the ​α-bromination of 1-phenylpentan-1-one​ (valerophenone).

Reagents:​​ Bromine (Br₂) or N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) are commonly used.

Conditions:​​ Reaction is typically carried out in an anhydrous inert solvent (e.g., dichloromethane, chloroform) at low temperatures (0°C to room temperature), sometimes with catalytic initiation.

​Precursor Synthesis:​​ 1-Phenylpentan-1-one can be synthesized via Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene with pentanoyl chloride.

 

Applications​

  • #
    Organic Chemistry Research
    Used as a ​specialized electrophilic building block​ for introducing the 2-amino-1-phenylpentan-1-one scaffold into target molecules. 
  • #
    Medicinal Chemistry Research
    It is valuable for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies in academic and industrial research settings.
     
  • #
    Precursor to Controlled Substances
    CRITICAL NOTE:​​ This compound is a ​direct and listed precursor​ in the synthesis of Schedule I/II controlled substances, specifically certain ​substituted cathinones​ (e.g., pentylone, eutylone analogs). Consequently:
      Its manufacture, distribution, import/export, and possession are ​illegal or heavily regulated​ in virtually all countries under national drug control laws and international conventions (e.g., UN 1988 Convention).
    ​  Legitimate applications are extremely narrow,​​ confined to authorized chemical analysis, forensic science, or highly regulated pharmaceutical research with explicit government licenses.

 

 

FAQs

Q1: What is the difference between this compound and 2-bromopropiophenone (CAS 13057-72-2)?​​

A1: The core difference is the ​length of the alkyl chain. 2-Bromopropiophenone has a 3-carbon (propyl) chain, while this compound has a 5-carbon (pentyl) chain. This increases the lipophilicity (fat-solubility) and alters the physical properties (e.g., making it more oily). In terms of reactivity and regulatory status, they are analogous as α-bromo ketone precursors.

​Q2: Is CAS 49851-31-2 legal to purchase for research?​​

A2: ​It is a strictly controlled substance in most jurisdictions.​​ In the United States, it is a ​List I chemical​ under the Controlled Substances Act. In China, it is a ​Category I controlled precursor. In the EU and many other countries, it is similarly listed. Legal purchase requires:

A valid license/registration from the national drug control authority.

A demonstrable, legitimate need (e.g., forensic lab, licensed pharmaceutical research).

Adherence to strict reporting, storage, and security protocols. ​Unauthorized purchase or possession is a serious crime.​​

​Q3: How should it be handled and disposed of safely?​​

A3:

​Handling:​​ Use only in a ​fume hood​ with full PPE: nitrile gloves, chemical-splash goggles, and a lab coat. It is a lachrymator and skin irritant.

​Disposal:​​ Must be treated as ​hazardous chemical waste. It cannot be poured down the drain. Consult your institution's Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) office for proper disposal as halogenated organic waste, in compliance with local regulations.

​Q4: What purity and documentation can a legitimate supplier provide?​​

A4: A legitimate supplier (e.g., a certified reference material producer for forensic use) would provide:

​Purity:​​ Typically ≥95% to ≥98% for analytical standards, verified by ​GC-FID or HPLC.

​Documentation:​​ A ​Certificate of Analysis (CoA)​​ with batch-specific data (chromatograms, NMR/IR confirmation) and a ​Safety Data Sheet (SDS)​. All transactions will have a complete audit trail.

​Q5: Why is this specific compound so heavily regulated?​​

A5: It is a ​​"direct precursor"​​ whose chemical structure requires only a single, high-yield reaction (typically amination) to produce a potent psychoactive substance (a cathinone). Regulatory frameworks globally target such one-step precursors to disrupt illicit drug manufacturing at its source.

 

​Disclaimer:​​ This information is for ​forensic, regulatory, and chemical safety educational purposes only. 2-Bromo-1-phenylpentan-1-one (CAS 49851-31-2) is a ​controlled precursor chemical​ whose unauthorized manufacture, sale, or possession is illegal under international and national laws. This document does not constitute legal advice. All activities involving this substance must be conducted in full compliance with applicable laws by authorized entities.
