Ethyl bromodifluoroacetate is an ester with the chemical formula F₂Br C H−CO₂CH₂CH₃. It can be used to introduce the CF₂ group when synthesising chemical compounds. It is a colorless to yellow liquid. It is an ethyl ester of bromodifluoroacetic acid.

Formation edit

Ethyl fluorosulfonoxydifluoroacetate can react with sodium bromide (NaBr) to produce ethyl bromodifluoroacetate. And this reaction could happen in the solvent sulfolane. The reactions takes 12 hours at 100 °C with a yield of 31%.

Reactions edit

Ethyl bromodifluoroacetate, and other similar compounds containing a CF₂ units can be generated using the Reformatsky reagent with aldehydes and ketones. This yields 2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxy esters. Also ethyl bromdifluoroacetate is considered to be a good compound in generation of compounds and for testing with other organic compounds like lactones, imines and other amino acids.^[2]
