butyl bromoacetate

Description:
Butyl bromoacetate, with the CAS number 18991-98-5, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is formed from the reaction of butanol and bromoacetic acid. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. It has a moderate boiling point and is generally soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic butyl group. Butyl bromoacetate is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, where the bromine atom can be replaced by various nucleophiles. It is also used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and may serve as a reagent in the preparation of other chemical compounds. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this substance, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes, and inhalation of vapors should be avoided. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area is recommended to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.
