Ethyl Bromoacetate
Ethyl Bromoacetate (CAS: 105-36-2), also known as ethyl 2-bromoacetate, is a reactive α-bromo ester supplied as a liquid building block for chemical synthesis. Its brominated methylene group supports alkylation and carbon–carbon bond-forming transformations, including Reformatsky-type reactions. It is used as an intermediate in organic, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical synthesis, as well as a laboratory alkylating reagent. The material is flammable and acutely toxic by ingestion, skin contact, and inhalation. Controlled handling and appropriate protective measures are therefore essential in its synthetic and laboratory applications.
• Used as an alkylating reagent for introducing an ethoxycarbonylmethyl group in organic synthesis.
• Serves as a versatile intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis.
• Participates in Reformatsky-type reactions with aldehydes or ketones to form carbon–carbon bonds and β-hydroxy ester products.
• Used in related transformations, including Blaise-type reactions with nitriles and substitution reactions involving carboxylic esters.
