Product Information

• Name: 2-(2-Bromoethyl)benzaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-(2-Bromoethyl)benzaldehyde is an organic compound that is used in the synthesis of many other compounds. It is produced by the acetylation of 2-bromoethanol with acetic anhydride and hydrochloric acid. This reaction mechanism starts with the formation of a carbocation from the protonated bromine and ethylene, followed by nucleophilic attack by the acetate anion to form a tertiary alcohol. The final step involves elimination of bromine to give 2-(2-bromoethyl)benzaldehyde. Techniques such as basic hydrolysis or chiral resolution can be used to produce optically pure 2-(2-bromoethyl)benzaldehyde.
