2-Bromo-2-phenylacetic acid Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Beige crystalline powder

Uses

α-Bromophenylacetic acid can be used as a reactant to prepare:

• Polymandelide by reacting with triethylamine.
• α-Mercaptophenylacetic acid by treating with sodium hydrosulfide (NaSH·H₂O).
• β-Lactams by reacting with imines in the presence of triphenylphosphine as a mediator.

Uses

2-Bromo-2-phenylacetic Acid can be used as an inhibitor of mammalian collagenase and elastase.
