Description

Bromomethyl Methyl Ether (CAS No. 26978-64-3) is a highly reactive alkylating agent with the molecular formula C₂H₅BrO. This organobromine compound, also known by its IUPAC name bromo(methoxy)methane, is widely utilized in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is a clear, volatile liquid with a pungent odor, requiring careful handling under inert conditions due to its sensitivity to moisture and light. Ideal for nucleophilic substitution reactions, Bromomethyl Methyl Ether serves as a key intermediate in the preparation of complex molecules, including protective groups for alcohols and amines. Packaged in amber glass bottles under nitrogen to ensure stability, this reagent is available in high purity grades (??98%) for laboratory and industrial applications. Suitable for use in Grignard reactions, polymer chemistry, and fine chemical synthesis.

Application

Bromomethyl Methyl Ether is primarily used as an alkylating agent in organic synthesis, enabling the introduction of methoxymethyl groups into target molecules. It finds applications in the preparation of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the synthesis of protective groups for sensitive functional groups. Additionally, it is employed in polymer chemistry as a crosslinking agent and in the modification of resins. Its reactivity makes it valuable in nucleophilic substitution reactions for constructing complex molecular architectures.
