ETHYL BROMOACETATE 95% For Synthesis - 250 ml

Description

Ethyl bromoacetate by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as bromoacetic acid ethyl ester, this is the ethyl ester of bromoacetic acid. The reagent is available as a colourless liquid which is insoluble in water. It has a melting point of 38 C, and a boiling point of 158 C. Ethyl bromoacetate is prepared in two steps from acetic acid. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 105-36-2 Quantity Provided: 250 ml per bottle Molecular formula: C4H7BrO2 Molecular weight: 167.00 Assay: Minimum 95 % Ethyl bromoacetate has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This compound finds several applications in the synthesis of various organic derivatives. Ethyl bromoacetate was once utilized as a lachrymatory agent and tear gas agent for chemical warfare. It is additionally a versatile alkylating agent, and is used the Reformatsky reaction. Ethyl bromoacetate is further used to prepare alpha, beta-unsaturated esters from carbonyl compounds such as benzaldehyde. This reagent is suitable for the industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
