In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Electrical conductivity of polymorphic modifications of α,β-dibromopropionic acid in nonaqueous solutions, published in 1959, which mentions a compound: 600-05-5, Name is 2,3-Dibromopropionic acid, Molecular C3H4Br2O2, Electric Literature of C3H4Br2O2.
Measurement of the elec. conductivity of α- (m. 64°) and β- (m. 51°) modifications of CH2BrCHBrCOOH was used to calculate the dissociation constant and the degree of dissociation in acetone over a wide range of concentration The β-form exhibited H bonding of the usual type and existed as a dimer. Bonding between the α-Br and the hydroxyl H resulted in existence of the α-from as monomer in nonaqueous solution Activity coefficients were calculated from conductivity data. The conductivities of the 2 forms became equal at high dilution The difference was greatest at a dissociation of about 50%.
This compound(2,3-Dibromopropionic acid)Electric Literature of C3H4Br2O2 was discussed at the molecular level, the effects of temperature and reaction time on the properties of the compound were discussed, and the optimum reaction conditions were selected.
