Product Information

• Name: 1,1-Dibromo-2,2-bis(chloromethyl)cyclopropane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,1-Dibromo-2,2-bis(chloromethyl)cyclopropane is a synthetic chemical that can be used to synthesize lactams. It is a member of the class of enolates and has two isomers: sulfoxide and sulfone. The synthesis process begins with an amination reaction between 1,1-dibromo-2,2-bis(chloromethyl)cyclopropane and an amine in the presence of magnesium chloride. This reaction produces a sulfide intermediate that reacts with an aldehyde or ketone to form the desired lactam. The reaction time varies depending on the reactivity of the reactants, but it typically takes less than one hour at room temperature. Magnesium metal is needed as a catalyst for this reaction because it will not take place without it. 1,1-Dibromo-2,2-bis(chloromethyl)cyclopropane also reacts easily
