Ethyl 2,3-Dibromobutyrate

Ref. 3D-AAA60911

Product Information

• Name: Ethyl 2,3-Dibromobutyrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ethyl 2,3-Dibromobutyrate (EDB) is a highly toxic chemical that is classified as an environmental pollutant. It is a clear liquid that is soluble in water and has a slightly sweet odor. EDB has been detected in the air, water, and soil. This compound can be used as a substrate for biomedicine or as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals. EDB also has an effect on enzyme catalysis and can be used to study the parameters of enzymes such as catabolic and kinetics. The electronegativity of EDB makes it reactive with fluoride ions. The presence of EDB in the environment causes pollution by accumulating in the tissues of plants and animals.
