2-(2-Bromophenyl)ethanol

Applications A brominated phenethanol derivative used as a building block in the preparation or bicyclic and tricyclic heterocycles. References Lemen, G. et al.: Org. Lett., 13, 3218 (2011); Allin, S. et al.: Tetrahedron, 61, 2689 (2005);

2-(2-Bromophenyl)ethanol is a functional group that contains a bromine atom and an ethoxy group. This compound is used to synthesize condensation products, such as the crystal x-ray diffraction of crystallized palladium complexes with acetaldehyde. The 2-(2-bromophenyl)ethanol analog was synthesized in order to study the synthesis and reactivity of a chelate ring. The hydroxyl group on this compound is useful for forming a magnesium salt or for using it as a synthetic reagent.
