3-Bromocyclohexane-1,2-dione

China [CN]

Structural Characteristics: Contains a cyclohexane backbone, with a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to the 1st and 2nd carbon atoms, respectively, and a bromine atom (Br) attached to the 3rd carbon atom. This structure imparts a certain degree of polarity and reactivity to the molecule.

Physical and Chemical Properties: Due to the presence of two carbonyl groups and one bromine atom, hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions are likely to occur between molecules, suggesting a relatively high melting point. Furthermore, due to its high polarity, it may be slightly soluble in water but soluble in polar organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone.
