Product Description:

(1-Bromoethyl)benzene is an organic compound with the molecular formula C8H9Br. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is also known as α-bromoethylbenzene or phenethyl bromide. This compound is a versatile alkylating agent and a key organic synthesis intermediate. Its primary application is as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. It serves as a precursor for introducing the phenethyl group into target molecules. For instance, it is used in the synthesis of compounds like 1-phenylethylamine derivatives and other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It also acts as an alkylating agent in reactions such as nucleophilic substitutions and Grignard-type transformations. Due to its lachrymatory properties and potential toxicity, appropriate safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and proper ventilation, are required during handling. It is typically stored under inert conditions to prevent decomposition.
