Bromoacetyl chloride(CAS: 22118-09-8)

Bromoacetyl chloride (CAS: 22118-09-8) is a halogenated organic compound with the chemical formula CH2C(O)Br. It is a colorless to yellow-brown liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor. This compound is highly reactive and corrosive.

Bromoacetyl chloride is used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and other organic compounds. It serves as a reagent in organic chemistry, particularly in the preparation of acyl chlorides and as a coupling agent in the production of certain polymers.

Bromoacetyl chloride is not considered safe for general use due to its high reactivity and corrosive nature. Proper handling requires personal protective equipment, and it should be used in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation. Ensure adequate containment to prevent exposure.

Bromoacetyl chloride should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sources of ignition, and combustible materials. It should be kept in a tightly closed container to prevent evaporation and contamination. Avoid exposure to light and maintain a temperature below 25°C.
