Product Introduction
The method of preparing 1-bromoethyl acetate generally uses bromoacetic acid to react with ethanol. The reaction conditions are usually carried out at room temperature, using an excess of ethanol, allowing the reaction to occur in the right direction. After the reaction, pure 1-bromoethyl acetate is obtained by distillation.
Safety Information: 1-Bromoethyl acetate is irritating and corrosive. It has an irritating effect on the eyes, skin and respiratory tract and should be rinsed with plenty of water in time after contact. Appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, glasses, and respirators should be worn during handling. The compound is also a flammable substance and should be avoided from contact with ignition sources and operated in a well-ventilated area.
