Ethyl bromo(difluoro)acetate

Ethyl bromodifluoroacetate is a chemical substance that reacts with amines in the presence of copper to form a copper complex. It is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of organic compounds, such as pharmaceuticals. Ethyl bromodifluoroacetate is also used as a catalyst for cross-coupling reactions of organic molecules. This reaction requires low energy and can be performed under mild conditions. The asymmetric synthesis of ethyl bromodifluoroacetate requires few steps and only uses inexpensive starting materials. The carbonyl group is chemically stable, making it difficult to decompose or oxidize. However, hydrogen fluoride will react with ethyl bromodifluoroacetate and cause it to decompose into its elements, fluorine and carbon dioxide gas. In addition, nucleophilic attack by halides can lead to the formation of ethyl bromodifluoroacetate from other substances. Control agents are necessary
