CAS 540-51-2

2-Bromoethanol

Description:

2-Bromoethanol, with the CAS number 540-51-2, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a bromine atom and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a two-carbon ethyl chain. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet odor and is soluble in water due to the polar nature of the hydroxyl group. This compound is classified as a bromoalcohol and is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, where the bromine atom can be replaced by various nucleophiles. 2-Bromoethanol is used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for the production of other chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It can also serve as a reagent in various chemical reactions, such as the formation of ethers or esters. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks, including skin and eye irritation, and potential toxicity upon exposure. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance in a laboratory setting.

2-Bromoethanol is a chemical used in the manufacture of sodium salts and ethylene. It has been shown to inhibit the enzyme activity of wild-type strains of E. coli, but not resistant mutants. 2-Bromoethanol was found to cause cell lysis, which may be due to its hydroxyl group reacting with argon, forming reactive oxygen species. The reaction mechanism for 2-bromoethanol is as follows: 2-bromoethanol + H2O → 2-(hydroxyethyl) bromide + HBr + heat
