Bromoacetaldehyde Diethyl Acetal
Bromoacetaldehyde Diethyl Acetal (CAS: 2032-35-1) is a colorless to light yellow liquid that serves as a protected bromoacetaldehyde building block. The acetal group masks the reactive aldehyde, allowing the bromide function to be used in alkylation and substitution chemistry before the aldehyde is liberated under acidic conditions. It is a versatile intermediate for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, fragrances, and heterocyclic synthesis such as thiazoles, imidazoles, and pyridines. The liquid may darken slowly on storage, so cool, inert handling is recommended. Customers value its controlled reactivity, high purity, and usefulness for introducing the two-carbon aldehyde synthon into complex molecules.
• Pharmaceutical synthesis: an alkylating agent for building heterocycles including thiazoles, imidazoles, and pyridines used in APIs.
• Agrochemicals: a two-carbon synthon for crop-protection intermediate preparation in herbicide and fungicide chemistry.
• Fine chemicals: masked aldehyde chemistry enabling selective downstream condensation and chain extension.
• Fragrances: a building block for aroma chemicals where a protected aldehyde function is required.
