CAS 401-55-8

Acetic acid, 2-bromo-2-fluoro-, ethyl ester

Description:

Acetic acid, 2-bromo-2-fluoro-, ethyl ester, with the CAS number 401-55-8, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It is derived from acetic acid, where the hydrogen atom of the carboxylic acid group is replaced by an ethyl group, and features both bromine and fluorine substituents on the carbon adjacent to the ester group. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a distinctive odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents. Its molecular structure contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis processes, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of halogens (bromine and fluorine) can enhance its biological activity and influence its physical properties, such as boiling point and polarity. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks, including irritation to skin and eyes, and potential environmental hazards. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate any risks associated with its use.

Ethyl bromofluoroacetate

CAS: 401-55-8

Ethyl bromofluoroacetate is a β-amino acid that is synthesized by the oxidation of ethyl formate with hydrogen peroxide. It has an inhibitory effect on mineralocorticoid receptor and can be used as a cross-coupling agent in organic chemistry. Ethyl bromofluoroacetate has been shown to have anti-cancer effects, but it can also inhibit insulin's ability to regulate glucose levels in the body, which may lead to diabetes.
