1-Bromoethyl acetate (C₄H₇BrO₂) is a reactive organic compound primarily used as a synthetic reagent in organic chemistry. Here are its key characteristics:

Structure: An ester where the acetyl group (CH₃COO-) is attached to a 1-bromoethyl group (-CHBrCH₃). It's often written as CH₃C(O)OCHBrCH₃.

Preparation: Typically made by acetoxybromination of acetaldehyde (CH₃CHO) using acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and bromine (Br₂) or HBr/Ac₂O.

Key Reactivity & Uses:

Acetylating Agent: The bromine atom is easily displaced by nucleophiles (Nu⁻), generating an unstable acetoxonium ion intermediate (CH₃C⁺(OEt)). This readily transfers the acetyl group (CH₃CO-) to the nucleophile, forming esters or amides:
CH₃C(O)OCHBrCH₃ + Nu⁻ → CH₃C(O)Nu + CH₃CHO + Br⁻
Source of Acetaldehyde: Hydrolysis releases acetaldehyde.
Building Block: Used to synthesize other compounds like α-acetoxy ketones.
Properties: A volatile, moisture-sensitive liquid with a pungent, lachrymatory odor (causes tears). Boils around ~145-155°C.
Handling: Requires care due to its reactivity, lachrymatory nature, and potential decomposition. Use in a fume hood is essential.

In short: 1-Bromoethyl acetate is a versatile reagent valued for its ability to efficiently transfer an acetyl group (CH₃CO-) to nucleophiles in synthesis.
