Ref. 3D-FB105400

Product Information

• Name: 2,6-Difluorobenzyl bromide
• Synonyms: 2-(Bromomethyl)-1,3-difluorobenzene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,6-Difluorobenzyl bromide is an organic compound that reacts with magnesium oxide to form a chloride gas. The synthesis of 2,6-difluorobenzyl bromide involves the reaction of hydrogen chloride and ethyl bromide in the presence of anhydrous sodium chloride as a solvent. The chlorination proceeds via substitution on the benzyl halide. The reaction mechanism for this substitution can be described in three steps:; 1) Addition to the double bond; 2) Substitution at the alpha position ; 3) Elimination of hydrogen chloride
