METHYL-2-BROMOPROPIONATE, [1-14C] - Introduction
METHYL-2-BROMOPROPIONATE, [1-14C] is an organic compound having the formula CH3CHBrCOOCH3, where [1-14C] represents a radioactive carbon isotope, radiocarbon -14.
METHYL-2-BROMOPROPIONATE has the properties of a volatile liquid and is soluble in many organic solvents, such as ethanol and dimethylformamide. It is an organic haloalkane compound, which is often used as a labeling reagent or a [14C] functional group introduction reagent in chemical reagents, and is used in the study of isotopically labeled compounds.
The method for preparing METHYL-2-BROMOPROPIONATE can be by reacting 2-bromopropionic acid with methanol. In this reaction, 2-bromopropionic acid is first reacted with a base to form its corresponding esterification intermediate, and then methanol is added for esterification.
The use of METHYL-2-BROMOPROPIONATE should pay attention to safety, because it is an organic haloalkane compound, often contact with the skin, eyes and respiratory tract can cause irritation and damage. Wear suitable personal protective equipment, such as gloves, masks and goggles. At the same time, it should be operated under well-ventilated laboratory conditions, away from open flames and high-temperature objects. The compound must be handled and stored properly to prevent leakage and improper use causing safety problems.
