Bromoethane (Cat No.:R022179) is a colorless, flammable liquid with the molecular formula C2H5Br. It has a sweet, ether-like odor and is used primarily as an alkylating agent in organic synthesis. Bromoethane reacts readily with nucleophiles, making it useful for introducing ethyl groups in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and laboratory reagents. It is volatile and can pose health hazards, including irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system. Due to its flammability and potential toxicity, it should be handled in a well-ventilated area with appropriate protective measures.
