2-Bromopropionic acid

Description:

2-Bromopropionic acid is an organic compound with the molecular formula C3H5BrO2. It is classified as a halogenated carboxylic acid, featuring a bromine atom attached to the second carbon of a three-carbon propionic acid chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor. It is soluble in water and polar organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical reactions and syntheses. 2-Bromopropionic acid is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions due to the presence of the bromine atom, which can be replaced by other nucleophiles. Additionally, it can serve as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it can be corrosive and harmful if inhaled or ingested. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances is essential to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.

2-Bromopropionic acid

CAS: 598-72-1

2-Bromopropionic acid is a tetroxide used in organic synthesis. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of 2,4-dibromopropionamide and 2,4-dibromo-3-methylpentanoic acid. The reaction mechanism of this process starts with the formation of a bromine atom from bromine monoxide and hydrogen peroxide. This bromine atom reacts with the carbon to form an alkyl radical that reacts with another molecule of bromine monoxide to form an alkyl radical that is stabilized by two atoms of hydrogen (i.e., CBr). The alkyl radical then undergoes a nucleophilic attack on iodobenzene to form an iodoalkane intermediate. This intermediate reacts with acetic acid to form the desired product, acetyl chloride. This reaction also produces iodoacetic acid as a byproduct.
