Product Information

• Name: 2-Bromo-2-methylpropanal
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Bromo-2-methylpropionaldehyde is an organic compound that belongs to the class of propionates. It is a primary amine that can be synthesized from acetone and chloroform. 2-Bromo-2-methylpropionaldehyde has been used as a disinfectant for skin and mucous membranes. It also lowers blood pressure by dilating the veins, which can help to prevent strokes and heart attacks. 2-Bromo-2-methylpropionaldehyde is more labile than its parent compound, propionic acid, because it lacks the hydrogens on the methyl group. It is susceptible to oxidation by hypobromous acid or chloride ions, which can lead to the formation of phenacyl bromide. Phenacyl bromide has been shown to have antiseptic properties and can be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. END>>
