Product Information

• Name: 2-Bromobenzyl mercaptan
• Synonyms: 2-Bromobenzenemethanethiol2-Bromobenzyl mercaptan
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Bromobenzyl mercaptan is an organoboron compound that is used as a precursor in the synthesis of other compounds. 2-Bromobenzyl mercaptan can be synthesized by reacting benzyl bromide with an activated aryl boronic acid, such as phenylboronic acid or 4-chlorophenylboronic acid. This reaction results in the formation of 1-phenylethyl methyl sulfide and 2-bromobenzaldehyde. The stereoselectivity of this reaction depends on the chirality of the substrate and the parameters used in the synthesis.
