Bromopentanes are a group of bromoalkanes consisting of pentane isomers with one or more hydrogen atoms replaced by bromine atoms.
They have the formula C5H12–nBrn, where n = 1–12 is the number of bromine atoms.
They are colorless liquids.
Monobromopentanes are bromopentanes containing one bromine atom, with the formula C5H11Br.
There are three isomers of unbranched monobromopentane: There are four isomers of monobromopentane based on 2-methylbutane: 2,2-Dimethylpropane has only one monobrominated derivative, 1-bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane, also known as neopentyl bromide.
