CAS 103-63-9

Phenethyl bromide

Description:

Phenethyl bromide, with the CAS number 103-63-9, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a phenethyl group (a phenyl ring attached to an ethyl chain) bonded to a bromine atom. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, aromatic odor. It is known for its moderate volatility and relatively low solubility in water, making it more soluble in organic solvents. Phenethyl bromide is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions, due to the presence of the bromine atom, which can be replaced by other nucleophiles. Safety considerations are important when handling this compound, as it can be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin, and appropriate precautions should be taken to minimize exposure.

(2-Bromoethyl)benzene

CAS: 103-63-9

2-Bromoethylbenzene is a nucleophilic substitutive agent that can be used in organic synthesis. It reacts with an electron-rich compound to form a covalent bond and release bromine. 2-Bromoethylbenzene has been shown to have therapeutic effects on autoimmune diseases such as arthritis and lupus erythematosus. It also has the ability to inhibit protease activity, which may be due to its hydroxy derivative. The reaction mechanism of 2-bromoethylbenzene is not fully understood, but it is known that halides can increase the rate of the substitution reaction. This chemical also has pharmaceutical applications, including as a precursor in amphetamine synthesis and as a reagent in kinetic studies of enzymes.
