Bromoethane, also known as ethyl bromide, is a halogenated hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C₂H₅Br, abbreviated as EtBr. It is a colorless liquid, insoluble in water, and soluble in most organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It is mainly used as a refrigerant, anesthetic, solvent, fumigant, and can also be used in organic synthesis.
Chemical property
Colorless, transparent, flammable, and volatile liquid. It has a strong ether odor and a spicy taste. It turns pale yellow in the air and when exposed to light. Miscible with ethanol, ether, chloroform, and other organic solvents, slightly soluble in water.
Main uses
Used in the pharmaceutical, pesticide, and dye industries, it is an ethylating agent in organic synthesis, as well as a refrigerant and organic solvent.
Used as an ethylating agent in organic synthesis, it is also a raw material for synthesizing pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dyes, and spices. It can also be used as a solvent, refrigerant, and fumigant.
