Ethyl bromodifluoroacetate

Description

Ethyl bromodifluoroacetate, a clear to yellow liquid, is an ester of bromodifluoroacetic acid and ethyl alcohol. It is an ester that can be used to introduce the CF2 group when synthesizing chemical compounds. Ethyl bromdifluoroacetate is considered to be a good compound in the generation of compounds and for testing with other organic compounds like lactones, imines, and other amino acids.

Chemical properties

clear colorless to slightly yellow liquid

The Uses of Ethyl bromodifluoroacetate

Ethyl bromodifluoroacetate is usually used in the preparation of substituted ethyl 2′-pyridyldifluoroacetates,4-alkoxymethyl- and 4-aryloxymethyl-3,3-difluoropiperidines,α,α-difluoro-β-lactams,mono- and difluoromethylated phenanthridine derivatives.

The Uses of Ethyl bromodifluoroacetate

Efficient difluoroalkylation of aryl boronic acids via palladium catalysis. Novel, moisture-stable bromodifluoromethylated phosphonate, ester, and amide. Efficient coupling with aryl boronic acids via Pd catalysis. A Cu-catalyzed regioselective bromodifluoroacetylation of alkenes, using ethyl bromodifluoroacetate (BrCF2CO2Et) as a difluoroacetylating reagent.

The Uses of Ethyl bromodifluoroacetate

Ethyl bromodifluoroacetate, is used for the treatment of the Reformat sky reagent with aldehydes and ketones affords 2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxy esters. It is also used in the analysis of reagent purity through IR, NMR.

Preparation

Difluorobromoacetonitrile is taken as a raw material, and prepared through a one-pot method and subjected to alcoholysis and esterification in ethanol aqueous solution to obtain ethyl bromodifluoroacetate.Reaction equation is:
BrF2CCN→BrF2CCOOH→BrF2CCOOC2H5
