Ethyl 2,3-dibromopropionate is a synthetic compound that is used in the preparation of other chemicals. It has been shown to have potent antiplatelet activity and inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation. Ethyl 2,3-dibromopropionate can be synthesized by the reaction of benzodioxan with hydrogen chloride in the presence of quinoline derivatives. The synthesis is asymmetric and yields two enantiomers: (2S)-ethyl 2,3-dibromopropionate and (2R)-ethyl 2,3-dibromopropionate.
