2-Bromopropionyl bromide, 97%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

2-Bromopropionyl bromide is used in the preparation of cellulose macroinitiator through direct acylation of cellulose in ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride. It is also used to prepare 3-(2-bromopropionyl)-2-oxazolidone derivatives and bromoester terminated poly(3-hexylthiophene). Further, it is used as a macroinitiator for atom transfer radical polymerization of acrylates.
