2-Bromoethyl isothiocyanate is an organic compound characterized by its isothiocyanate functional group attached to a bromoethyl moiety. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, indicative of its reactivity and potential toxicity. The compound is known for its role in organic synthesis and as a reagent in various chemical reactions, particularly in the formation of thioureas and other nitrogen-containing compounds. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Due to the presence of the isothiocyanate group, it exhibits biological activity and can act as a potent electrophile, making it useful in medicinal chemistry and agrochemical applications. However, caution is advised when handling this substance, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area, are essential when dealing with 2-bromoethyl isothiocyanate.

<p>2-Bromoethyl isothiocyanate is a synthetic, bifunctional isothiocyanate. It reacts with amines to form active methylene compounds and can be used for the synthesis of choline. 2-Bromoethyl isothiocyanate has been shown to induce phytoalexin production in plants by activating the transcription factor Nrf2 through its chlorination of silicon. This compound also inhibits choline uptake, leading to a decrease in acetylcholine levels in the brain and increased aggressiveness.</p>
