CHBrO
CHBrO is the molecular formula for a class of chemical compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, bromine, and oxygen. These compounds can exist as various isomers, meaning they have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements of atoms. One common isomer is bromoformyl, also known as formyl bromide. This molecule is a reactive acyl halide and is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It is characterized by a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to a bromine atom and a hydrogen atom.
Another possible isomer is hydroxy-bromomethylene. This compound would feature a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen
