1-Bromo-4-methylpentane aids the creation of organic compounds. It also facilitates the synthesis of fluorinated compounds, including perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). Further, it assists in the production of polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene. Acting as a brominating agent, 1-Bromo-4-methylpentane can introduce a bromine atom into a molecule. This reaction is generally conducted in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, like aluminum chloride or zinc chloride. The brominating agent can also be used to produce cyclic bromonium ions, which can be harnessed in the synthesis of polycyclic compounds.
