CAS 3017-53-6

Propanoic acid,2-bromo-, phenylmethyl ester

Description:

Propanoic acid, 2-bromo-, phenylmethyl ester, also known by its CAS number 3017-53-6, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. This compound features a propanoic acid backbone with a bromine atom substituted at the second carbon, and a phenylmethyl (benzyl) group attached to the carboxylic acid moiety. The presence of the bromine atom introduces unique reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. The ester functional group contributes to its volatility and solubility in organic solvents, while the phenylmethyl group enhances its hydrophobic characteristics. This compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its synthesis typically involves the reaction of the corresponding bromopropanoic acid with benzyl alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance due to potential irritant properties and the presence of bromine, which can be hazardous.
