Methyl 2-bromoacetate (methyl bromoactate) is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C3H5BrO2.
Properties
Methyl 2-bromoacetate is colorless or straw-colored liquid. The smell is sharp and penetrating. It is soluble in water and also has a higher density than water.[2] It is incompatible with acids, bases, oxidizing agents, and reducing agents.[3]
Application
Methyl bromoacetate is an alkylating agent. It has been used to alkylate phenol and amino groups.[4][5] Moreover, it can be used to make vitamins and pharmaceutical drugs. It is commonly used as a reagent in chemical modification of histidine.[2] In addition, methyl bromoacetate also use in synthesize of coumarins and cis-cyclopropane. It reacts with conjugated base and produce alkylated carbene complexes.[3]
Safety
Methyl bromoacetate can be toxic by ingestion and inhalation. It can also irritate the skin and eyes.[2]
