4-(2-Bromoacetyl)benzoic acid is a chiral and reactive reagent that is used in organic synthesis. The steric bulk of 4-(2-bromoacetyl)benzoic acid allows it to inhibit the activity of enzymes, such as peptidases and esterases. It has been shown to inhibit the enzyme activity of phenacyl esterase with a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.06 mM, which is considerably less than that for phenacyl itself (1 mM). 4-(2-Bromoacetyl)benzoic acid also reacts with alkylate to form an acetate ester, which can be monitored kinetically by measuring the increase in absorbance at 280 nm.
