Description

Chlorodifluoroacetyl Bromide (CAS 421-45-4) is a highly reactive halogenated acetyl bromide derivative with the molecular formula C2BrClF2O. This organofluorine compound, also known by its IUPAC name 2-chloro-2,2-difluoroacetyl bromide, is a versatile reagent used in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical intermediate preparation. The presence of both chlorine and fluorine atoms adjacent to the carbonyl group enhances its electrophilic character, making it particularly useful for nucleophilic substitution reactions. Supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid, this compound should be handled under inert conditions due to its moisture sensitivity and reactivity. It is commonly employed in the preparation of fluorinated building blocks for agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and specialty materials. Store in a cool, dry place under an inert atmosphere to maintain stability.
