臭化エチルの融点は−119°Cで、沸点は38.4°Cです。常温では無色の液体で、揮発性があり、エーテルのような臭いがあります。蒸気は空気より重く、引火点は-2°C以下で、引火しやすいです。爆発範囲は6.8～8.0％です。
水に溶けにくく、20°Cで水100gに0.914g溶解します。エタノールやベンゼンのような有機溶媒には溶けます。
一般的なハロゲン系炭化水素と同様に、健康に悪影響があり、経口・吸入ともに許容濃度は200ppmです。吸入した場合には、鼻やのどを強く刺激して、頭痛、動悸、瞳孔拡大、視力障害、顔面紅潮などを起こし、チアノーゼや呼吸困難などが起きる可能性もあります。皮膚からも吸収されて同様の中毒症状を起こし、眼に入ると眼の粘膜が刺激され炎症が起きます。

合成
臭化エチルの合成法
図2. 臭化エチルの合成
炭化水素の臭素化によって、臭化エチルを合成可能です。一般的に臭化エチルの合成では、エチレンに臭化水素を付加する場合が多いです。ただし臭化エチルは安価な化合物であり、通常研究室では合成しません。
また、エタノールと臭化水素酸に少量の硫酸を加えて蒸留すると、臭化エチルが生成します。この反応では副生成物として、ジエチルエーテルが生じます。さらに、エタノールを臭化チオニル (SOBr2) や三臭化リン (PBr3) と反応させても、臭化エチルを生成可能です。

etherlike odor and a burning taste. Ethyl bromide is miscible
with alcohols, ether, chloroform, and organic solvents; its water
solubility is 9000 mg l-1 at 25 ℃. Ethyl bromide’s vapor
density relative to air is 3.76.

化学的特性
Bromoethane is a colorless, volatile, flammable liquid. When exposed to air and light, it turns yellow. It has an ethereal odor and somewhat burning taste. Bromoethane has a specific gravity of 1.4505 between 4° and 25°C, a boiling point of 38.4°C, a melting point of -119°C, and a vapor pressure of 475 mm mercury at 25°C. It is 0.91% (w/w) soluble in water at 20°C and is miscible with ethanol, ethyl ether, chloroform, and other organic solvents. It has a flash point of -20°C (closed cup). The autoignition temperature is 511°C. The flammable limits in air are between 6.7570 and 11.25%. Although bromoethane is relatively stable, when heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of bromine and hydrobromide; it can react with oxidizing materials (ITII, 1979; Sittig, 1979; Torkelson and Rowe, 1981; Merck, 1983; Sax, 1984).

使用
Bromoethane is an alkylating agent primarily used as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis, in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, and for the ethylation of gasoline. To a lesser extent, it has been used as a fruit and grain fumigant, refrigerant, and solvent. Although proposed occasionally as a general anesthetic in the earlier part of this century, it has not been used to any extent for this purpose (Sayers et al., 1929; Abreu et al., 1939; ITII, 1979; Sittig, 1979; Torkelson and Rowe, 1981;Merck, 1983).

定義
ChEBI: Bromoethane is a bromoalkane that is ethane carrying a bromo substituent. It is an alkylating agent used as a chemical intermediate in various organic syntheses. It has a role as a carcinogenic agent, a solvent, a refrigerant, a local anaesthetic and an alkylating agent. It is a bromoalkane, a bromohydrocarbon and a volatile organic compound.
-
製造方法
Bromoethane is produced by the reaction of either hydrogen or potassium bromide with cold ethanol or with ethylene and sulfuric acid (Hawley, 1977; Sittig, 1979; Merck, 1983). It is commercially available at greater than 99% purity. Production from two U.S. manufacturers was estimated at 163.5 million pounds in 1986 (CSITC, 1987); no recent import and export information was available in the literature.

健康ハザード
Ethyl bromide is a depressant of the centralnervous system, causing narcosis. The healthhazard is greater than with ethyl chloride.In addition to the narcotic effects that occurat exposure to high concentrations, othertoxic symptoms include irritation of the eyesand respiratory tract, pulmonary edema, fattydegeneration of the liver and renal tissue, anddamage to the liver, kidney, and intestine. A15-minute exposure to a 15% concentrationof vapor in air was lethal to rats. The oralLD50 value in rats is 1350 mg (NIOSH 1986).
-
火災危険
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion and poison hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water.

発がん性
This chemical is considered to
be an animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans.
There is no EPA (IRIS) file.
In the lifetime carcinogenic/toxicology study, groups
of rats and mice were exposed 6 h/day, 5 days/week for 104
weeks to 0, 100, 200, or 400 ppm by inhalation. Survival of
rats was unaffected or in the case of the 100 ppm female rats
was significantly above the control group. Body weights
were also unaffected.
Likewise survival of mice was little affected by exposure
except for a decrease in survival at 400 ppm in female mice,
which also had body weights 6–16% lower than controls after
29 weeks. No clinical signs were apparent in any group, but
at autopsy there was evidence of respiratory irritation at
400 ppm. It was concluded that there was clear evidence
of an increase in neoplasms (endometrial adenomas,adenocarcinomas, and squamous cell carcinomas) in the uteri
of female mice. The tumors contributed to the decreased
survival of the female mice exposed to 400 ppm. The terminal
rats of uterine tumors were 0, 3, 14, and 61% in the 0, 100,
200, and 400 ppm groups.
There was equivocal evidence of carcinogenic activity in
the lungs of male mice, and a marginally increased incidence
of neoplasms in the brain and lungs of female rats. Male
rats were considered to have some evidence of a slightly
increased incidence of tumors in the adrenals, brain, and
lungs. Although there was a clear dose–response relationship
in female mice, the dose response in male mice and rats of
both sexes was not as clear.

純化方法
The main impurities are usually EtOH and water, both of which form azeotropes with it. Ethanol and unsaturated compounds can be removed by washing with conc H2SO4 until no further coloration is produced. The ethyl bromide is then washed with water, aqueous Na2CO3, and water again, then dried with CaCl2, MgSO4 or CaH2, and distilled from P2O5. Olefinic impurities can also be removed by storing the ethyl bromide in daylight with elemental bromine, later removing the free bromine by extraction with dilute aqueous Na2SO3, drying the ethyl bromide with CaCl2 and fractionally distilling it. Alternatively, unsaturated compounds can be removed by bubbling oxygen containing ca 5% ozone through the liquid for an hour, then washing with aqueous Na2SO3 to hydrolyse ozonides and remove hydrolysis products, followed by drying and distillation. [Beilstein 1 IV 150.]

不和合性
May form explosive mixture with air.
Hydrolyzes in water, forming hydrogen bromide (HBr).
Oxidizers may cause fire or explosions. Fire and explosions
may be caused by contact with chemically active metals:
aluminum, magnesium or zinc powders; lithium, potassium,
sodium. Attacks some plastic, rubber and coatings. Note:
Chlorinating agents destroy nitrogen mustards. Dry chlorinated lime and chloramines with a high content of active
chlorine, vigorously chlorinate nitrogen mustards to the carbon chain, giving low toxicity products. In the presence of
water this interaction proceeds less actively. They are rapidly oxidized by peracids in aqueous solution at weakly
alkaline pH. In acid solution the oxidation is much slower
