Product Information

• Name: 2-Bromoethyl Benzoate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Bromoethyl Benzoate (2BEB) is a quaternary ammonium salt that exhibits antiviral activity. This compound hydrolyzes the ester bond of 2-bromoethanol to form 2-bromoethyl benzoate and ethanol. The alkylation process occurs in the presence of an organometallic catalyst, such as copper or silver, with an alkylating agent such as methyl iodide. This reaction system has been shown to be effective against viruses and can also be used to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. The 2BEB can be synthesized by reacting piperazine with a Grignard reagent and bromobenzene in the presence of a base. 2BEB has been shown to inhibit various functional groups, including peroxides, piperazines, and organometallic compounds.
