Ethyl bromoacetate, 98%

Product Code. 11448663

Brand: Thermo Scientific Alfa Aesar A10448.22

Description

CAS: 105-36-2 | C4H7BrO2 | 167.002 g/mol

Ethyl bromoacetate is widely used as an alkylating reagent involved in the Reformatsky reaction to prepare the beta-hydroxy esters by reacting with carbonyl compounds. It is also used for the syntheses of witting reagent, artificial diethylstilbestrol antigen, 3-phenyl-1-naphthol and steroidal thiazolidinone derivatives. It finds applications in the preparation of reversibly photoresponsive coumarin-stabilized polymeric nanoparticles in an aqueous medium which act as a detectable drug carrier.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
