Description
Methyl bromoacetate is a reactive α-bromo ester intermediate supplied at min. 95 % purity for alkylation and homologation chemistry. It is identified by CAS number 96-32-2, empirical formula C₃H₅BrO₂ and a molar mass of 152,97 g/mol. The compound shows a density of 1,616 g/cm³ and a flash point of 64 °C, data that support safe transfer and process design. As a classic electrophile, methyl bromoacetate is widely used to introduce the methoxycarbonylmethyl fragment onto nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur and carbon nucleophiles, enabling access to glycine equivalents, heterocycles and more elaborate ester building blocks. UN number 2643 applies for transport. Laboratories value the combination of defined assay, compact molecular weight and predictable reactivity when planning Williamson-type alkylations, Reformatsky-related sequences or protective ester installations. Handle as a lachrymatory, halogenated ester under appropriate ventilation and personal protective equipment, and base charge calculations on the stated molar mass for reproducible synthetic outcomes.

Questions about Methyl bromoacetate, min. 95 %, 250 g
What is this article?
Methyl bromoacetate, min. 95 %, 250 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Inorganic salts, inside Inorganic chemicals, in Lab chemicals.
An inorganic salt is an ionic solid, a chloride, a sulfate, a nitrate, a phosphate. The degree of hydration changes the mass that contains one mole of the ion. Analytical grade limits the foreign ions. A hydrate and the anhydrous salt are not interchangeable by weight.
An inorganic chemical is a salt, an acid or base in solid form, a metal, an oxide, or an element. The waters of hydration are part of the formula: a hydrate and an anhydrous salt are different masses for the same ion. Trace metals matter when the salt will be used in analysis. Nanomaterials add particle size to the specification. Look the substance up on PubChem. Hazard classes are on ECHA, under the CLP Regulation and REACH. Transport of the dangerous ones is explained by the UNECE.
