Description

2-Bromopropionyl bromide is used in the preparation of cellulose macroinitiator through direct acylation of cellulose in ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride. It is also used to prepare 3-(2-bromopropionyl)-2-oxazolidone derivatives and bromoester terminated poly(3-hexylthiophene). Further, it is used as a macroinitiator for atom transfer radical polymerization of acrylates.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
