Product Introduction
Bromoacetyl bromide (CAS 598-21-0) is an organic compound with the molecular formula C2H2Br2O. It is a colorless to pale yellow, heavy, fuming liquid with a sharp, pungent odor. As a bifunctional molecule containing both an acyl bromide and an alpha-bromo group, Bromoacetyl bromide (CAS 598-21-0) is an extremely powerful and versatile synthetic tool. It is primarily used to introduce the bromoacetyl moiety into organic molecules, serving as a critical building block for the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and specialty chemicals.

Storage
Bromoacetyl bromide is a highly corrosive, moisture-sensitive, and lachrymatory liquid. It must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated dedicated chemical warehouse. Keep containers tightly sealed and protected from moisture (it reacts violently with water to form HBr). Store away from strong bases, alcohols, and oxidizing agents. It is recommended to store under an inert gas (Nitrogen) blanket to maintain purity. Properly stored, it has a shelf life of 12-18 months.
