Home Chemistry Organic Building Blocks Esters Ethyl 2-Bromo-2-Phenylacetate
These compounds have the same murcko framework: benzene,and at least 1 kind of functional groups( —CH(Br)COOC2H5).
Nucleophilic Substitution (SN2): If you treat ethyl 2-bromo-2-phenylacetate with a strong nucleophile, such as sodium ethoxide (NaOEt) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in an appropriate solvent, it can undergo a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The bromine atom is a good leaving group, and a nucleophile can replace it at the alpha carbon, resulting in the formation of a new compound. For example: Ethyl 2-bromo-2-phenylacetate + NaOEt → Ethyl 2-ethoxy-2-phenylacetate + NaBr
Reduction: Another possible reaction is the reduction of the ester group. This can be achieved by using a reducing agent such as lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) or sodium borohydride (NaBH4). Reduction of the 【ester|https://www.ambeed.com/esters.html】 would lead to the formation of the corresponding 【alcohol|https://www.ambeed.com/alcohols.html】. For example: Ethyl 2-bromo-2-phenylacetate + LiAlH4 → Ethyl 2-phenyl-2-hydroxyacetate
