Description:Phenyl bromoacetate, with the CAS number 620-72-4, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and the presence of a bromine atom. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, fruity odor. The compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Phenyl bromoacetate is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, where the bromine atom can be displaced by various nucleophiles. This makes it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it can undergo hydrolysis to form phenyl acetate and hydrobromic acid. Safety considerations include handling it in a well-ventilated area and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Overall, phenyl bromoacetate is an important compound in synthetic organic chemistry with diverse applications.
