Product Information

• Name: 2-Bromopropionic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Bromopropionic acid is a tetroxide used in organic synthesis. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of 2,4-dibromopropionamide and 2,4-dibromo-3-methylpentanoic acid. The reaction mechanism of this process starts with the formation of a bromine atom from bromine monoxide and hydrogen peroxide. This bromine atom reacts with the carbon to form an alkyl radical that reacts with another molecule of bromine monoxide to form an alkyl radical that is stabilized by two atoms of hydrogen (i.e., CBr). The alkyl radical then undergoes a nucleophilic attack on iodobenzene to form an iodoalkane intermediate. This intermediate reacts with acetic acid to form the desired product, acetyl chloride. This reaction also produces iodoacetic acid as a byproduct.
