• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Bromopropionic acid tert-butyl ester is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of alkylation agents. It is used in organic synthesis as a reagent for the preparation of enolates and acrylates by transfer reactions. This compound can be used to prepare styrene copolymers with acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and crotonic acid. 2-Bromopropionic acid tert-butyl ester has been shown to react with chloride ions in an electrophilic substitution reaction to form a radical species that reacts with oxygen in the presence of light or heat to form a dipole. This process has been shown using techniques such as gel permeation chromatography and mass spectroscopy.
