2-Bromopropionyl bromide
2-Bromopropionyl bromide (CAS: 563-76-8) is a reactive organic compound with the linear formula CH3CHBrCOBr and a molecular weight of 215.87 g/mol. This acid halide serves as a valuable building block in organic synthesis. It is particularly useful for introducing the 2-bromopropionyl moiety in the preparation of various functionalised molecules, including polymers and heterocyclic compounds. Tech Serve Solutions supplies this chemical for research and development purposes.
Polymer Synthesis
Used as a macroinitiator in the synthesis of bromoester terminated polymers, such as poly(3-hexylthiophene), enabling further atom transfer radical polymerisation of acrylates.
Cellulose Modification
Employed in the direct acylation of cellulose within ionic liquids, such as 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, to create cellulose macroinitiators.
Heterocyclic Chemistry
Applied in the synthesis of novel oxazolidone derivatives, specifically forming 3-(2-bromopropionyl)-2-oxazolidone structures for further chemical elaboration.
