BROMOMETHYL ACETATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Clear colorless to yellow liquid

Uses

Bromomethyl acetate is involved in the preparation of optically active cyclohexene antisepsis agents. It acts as reagent in samarium diiodide-mediated conversion of ketones and aldehydes to 1,2-diacetates.

Uses

Has cytotoxicity and mutagenicity effects.

General Description

The interaction of bromomethyl acetate with O(6)-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (DNA repair protein) was studied in vitro.
