1-Bromo-5-fluoropentane is a halogenated alkane with the chemical formula

1-Bromo-5-fluoropentane is a halogenated aliphatic organic compound belonging to the class of substituted pentanes. It consists of a five-carbon straight-chain backbone with a bromine atom attached to the first carbon and a fluorine atom attached to the fifth carbon, giving it the molecular formula C₅H₁₀BrF and a molecular weight of approximately 169.03 g/mol.

This compound is typically a colourless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic organic odour. Due to the presence of both bromine and fluorine substituents, it exhibits moderate polarity and enhanced reactivity compared to unsubstituted hydrocarbons. These halogen groups make it useful as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of fluorinated molecules, agrochemicals, and pharmaceutical compounds.
