2-Aminoethyl carbamimidothioate dihydrobromide(CAS: 56-10-0)

2-Aminoethyl carbamimidothioate dihydrobromide is a crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 248.1 g/mol. It has a low solubility in water and is slightly soluble in organic solvents. This compound exhibits basic reactivity due to the amino group. It is stable under normal conditions but can react with acids to form less stable compounds.

2-Aminoethyl carbamimidothioate dihydrobromide is typically synthesized by reacting 2-aminoethyl carbamate with hydrogen bromide gas. The reaction is carried out under anhydrous conditions to avoid side reactions. The process yields a dihydrobromide salt with good selectivity and high yield, around 90%.

2-Aminoethyl carbamimidothioate dihydrobromide is used in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of certain drug intermediates. It is also utilized in the polymer industry for the modification of polymers, and in the field of sensors for its reactivity and sensitivity to various analytes. Its applications in semiconductors are less common but are explored for specialized uses.

Proper laboratory safety protocols should be followed when handling 2-Aminoethyl carbamimidothioate dihydrobromide. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood to minimize inhalation risk. Store the compound away from acids and ensure good ventilation during storage and use. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed information on handling and disposal.
