Methyl 2-bromo-2-butenoate（Cat No.:M086956）is a brominated α,β-unsaturated ester commonly used as a reactive intermediate in organic synthesis. Featuring both an electrophilic double bond and a bromine leaving group, it is ideal for Michael additions, nucleophilic substitutions, and cross-coupling reactions. This compound is valuable in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals where selective functionalization is required. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid, soluble in common organic solvents, and should be handled with care due to its reactivity and potential lachrymatory properties.
