Description

2-Bromopropionyl Bromide is a brominating agent that can be used as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of polymeric materials. The bromine atom on the propionic acid group reacts with hydroxyl groups to form esters, amides, and phenols. It has minimal toxicity in cell culture and is not cytotoxic at concentrations up to 10%. 2-Bromopropionyl Bromide is an effective macroinitiator for cationic polymerization reactions. The acylation reaction with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid yields a diazonium salt which reacts further with tetronic acid or other cross-linking agents to form a polymer film. This product can be used for fluorescence techniques because it emits light when excited by ultraviolet radiation.
