2-Bromo-1-cyclopropylethanone (Cat No.: R031238) is a halogenated aliphatic ketone featuring a bromine atom at the alpha position to the carbonyl group and a cyclopropyl ring attached to the same carbon. This compound is a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly useful for constructing heterocycles, introducing cyclopropyl moieties, or performing nucleophilic substitution and enolate chemistry. The strained cyclopropyl ring adds reactivity and conformational rigidity, making it valuable in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and complex molecular frameworks in medicinal chemistry.
