Description and Uses
Acetyl bromide is a colourless fuming liquid with pungent odour, is combustible, and turns yellow on exposure to air. It is used as an acetylating agent in the synthesis of fine chemicals, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. It is also used as an intermediate for dyes. Acetylation, a case of acylation, is an organic synthesis process whereby the acetyl group is incorporated into a molecule by substitution for protecting –OH groups.
Acetyl Bromide is used as an acetylating agent in the synthesis of fine chemicals, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. It is also used as an intermediate for dyes. Further, it reacts with alcohols and amines to produce acetate esters and acetamides. In addition to this, it is involved in the synthetic process of the anti-HIV agent.
