Bromoethane (Ethyl Bromide), CAS 74-96-4, is an organic halogen compound commonly used as an intermediate and ethylating agent in organic synthesis.
Bromoethane is widely used in the production of pharmaceutical intermediates, agrochemical intermediates and specialty chemicals. Due to its reactive ethyl group, it can be used in various chemical synthesis processes where ethylation reactions are required.
The product is a colorless to slightly yellow, volatile liquid with a relatively low boiling point of approximately 38°C. Because of its volatility and flammability, appropriate handling, storage and transportation procedures are required.
