Introduction
Isopropyl Bromoacetate
Chemical Formula: C₅H₉BrO₂
Structure: Halogenated ester formed by a bromoacetate group (BrCH₂COO-) bonded to an isopropyl group (-CH(CH₃)₂). Derived from bromoacetic acid and isopropanol.
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid.
- Odor: Pungent.
- Reactivity:
- Highly reactive in nucleophilic substitution reactions.
- Moisture-sensitive (hydrolyzes to release corrosive byproducts).
Applications
- Organic Synthesis:
- Reagent for introducing bromoacetyl groups into molecules.
- Used in synthesizing pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals.
- Biomolecule Modification:
- Functionalizes peptides and other biomolecules via bromoacetylation.
Safety Considerations ⚠️
- Health Hazards:
- Causes severe irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
- Handling:
- Use PPE (gloves, goggles, lab coat) and work in a fume hood.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and incompatible substances (e.g., bases, oxidizers).
Summary:
Isopropyl bromoacetate’s reactivity and bromoacetyl-transfer capability make it vital in drug synthesis and biomolecule engineering. Strict safety protocols are mandatory due to its corrosive and moisture-sensitive nature.
