ETHYL 2-(BROMOMETHYL)ACRYLATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colourless Oil

Uses

ETHYL 2-(BROMOMETHYL)ACRYLATE is an intermediate used for the synthesis of aza inhibitors of chorismate mutase.

Uses

It can be employed as an electrophile for various organometallic compounds. The organometallic derivatives of the compound can be used for the synthesis of α-methylene lactones and lactams. It can also be used for the polymerization of functionalized acrylic monomers.

General Description

Ethyl 2-(bromomethyl)acrylate is an allylic alkylating reagent.

Purification Methods

If it contains some free acid, add H2O, cool, and neutralise with NaHCO3 until evolution of CO2 ceases. Extract the mixture with Et2O (3x) and dry the combined extracts (Na2SO4, 3hours). Evaporate Et2O and distil the ester collecting fraction b 39-40o/0.9mm and check spectra. [Preparation and NMR: Ramarajan et al. Org Synth Coll Vol VII 211 1990, Beilstein 2 IV 1541.]
