Description

2-Bromoethylbenzene is a nucleophilic substitutive agent that can be used in organic synthesis. It reacts with an electron-rich compound to form a covalent bond and release bromine. 2-Bromoethylbenzene has been shown to have therapeutic effects on autoimmune diseases such as arthritis and lupus erythematosus. It also has the ability to inhibit protease activity, which may be due to its hydroxy derivative. The reaction mechanism of 2-bromoethylbenzene is not fully understood, but it is known that halides can increase the rate of the substitution reaction. This chemical also has pharmaceutical applications, including as a precursor in amphetamine synthesis and as a reagent in kinetic studies of enzymes.
