Technical Specifications

Physical and Chemical Properties

Understanding the physical characteristics of Ethyl 3-Bromopropionate is essential for safe handling and effective integration into synthesis protocols. The compound presents as a colorless transparent liquid, indicating high clarity and minimal particulate contamination. With a density of approximately 1.412 g/mL at 25 degrees Celsius, it exhibits typical properties of halogenated esters.

The boiling point is recorded at 135-136 degrees Celsius under reduced pressure (50 mm Hg), which allows for efficient distillation and purification during downstream processing. Additionally, the refractive index of 1.452 provides a reliable metric for quality verification via optical methods. These physical constants are strictly monitored to ensure batch-to-batch reproducibility.

Industrial Applications

This brominated ester is primarily utilized as a versatile building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and advanced organic compounds. Its chemical structure allows for facile functionalization, enabling chemists to introduce specific side chains or ring structures into target molecules. Common applications include the production of heterocyclic compounds and various therapeutic agents.

Beyond pharmaceuticals, this intermediate finds utility in agrochemical research and specialty material development. The high purity grade we supply minimizes side reactions, thereby improving overall yield and reducing waste in industrial-scale operations. Our technical team can provide guidance on optimal reaction conditions to maximize efficiency.

Quality Assurance and Storage

Quality control is paramount in our production process. Each shipment is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all tested parameters. We employ advanced chromatographic techniques to verify purity levels and identify any trace impurities. This commitment to transparency ensures that our partners can maintain their own quality standards without compromise.

For storage, keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. It is crucial to store this material away from heat sources, sparks, and open flames due to its chemical nature. Compatibility with other substances should be verified before storage in shared facilities. Proper handling procedures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended during transfer and usage.
