Introduction | 2-bromobutyric acid is an organic bromine compound, it can be obtained by catalytic Reflux reaction of NBS and N-butyric acid in carbon tetrachloride by AIBN. Other methods using NBS as the brominating agent have also been reported, such as the reaction with trifluoroacetic acid as the solvent under the catalysis of sulfuric acid. It can be reacted with thiophenol in a solution of sodium hydroxide in ethanol to give sodium 2-phenylthiobutyrate. It reacts with oxalyl chloride to give 2-bromobutyryl chloride. |
Use | organic synthesis intermediates. used in organic synthesis, also used as a reagent intermediates used as pesticides, pharmaceutical intermediates |
production method | is derived from the bromination of butyric acid. Put N-butyric acid and phosphorus trichloride into enamel jar, slowly drip bromine when heated to 100 ℃, the temperature is controlled at 100-120 ℃, keep warm for 8h after adding, remove hydrobromic acid for 18h, and then wash with water, the finished product was obtained by distillation. |
