Product Information

• Name: 2-(Bromomethyl)acrylic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-(Bromomethyl)acrylic acid is a monomer that has been synthesized from bromoacetic acid and acrylic acid. It is an efficient method for the synthesis of 2-bromoethyl acrylate, which can be used as a precursor for polyurethanes and other polymers. The 2-bromoethyl acrylate can be obtained through allylation with ethylene glycol, followed by hydrolysis to produce acrylic acid. This monomer reacts with free hydroxyl groups to form esters and ethers. It also reacts with nitrogen atoms to form amides or nitriles. Cell culture studies have shown that this compound has no toxic effects on human erythrocytes or hepatocytes.
