Product Information

• Name: 1-(2-Bromoethyl)naphthalene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-(2-Bromoethyl)naphthalene is a heterocyclic compound with two bromine atoms attached to the same carbon atom. It has two stereoisomers, one of which can be synthesized from phenacyl and the other from diketone. It is used in organic synthesis as a reactive intermediate for the alkylation of various substrates. The rate of reactivity is dependent on the electron donating ability of the substrate, with electron-donating groups resulting in faster reaction rates. This product has been shown to undergo enthalpic transfer reactions at room temperature, and chemoselective alkylation reactions at elevated temperatures.
