Description

2-Bromo-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethanone is a quaternary ammonium salt that is used as a reagent for the preparation of guanidine derivatives. It has been shown to have an active site and to possess a low pKa value, making it useful for kinetic studies. Bromomethylation of this ketone leads to bromoacetate, which can be converted to guanidine by hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide in ethyl alcohol. This reagent has been shown to denature proteins in the presence of other agents such as urea and thiourea. 2-Bromo-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethanone exhibits dichroism, giving two different spectra depending on the pH. The spectrum at pH 4 is characteristic of an ionizable group while that at pH 10 is characteristic of an aromatic ring system.
