General description

Ethyl bromoacetate is commonly used in organic synthesis as an alkylating agent and acylation reagent. Ethyl bromoacetate on derivatisation reaction with p-t-butyl calix[4]arene yields 1,3-diester substituted calix[4]arene. It also undergoes Suzuki type cross-coupling reactions with arylboronic acids cocatalyzed by copper(I) oxide.

Application

Ethyl bromoacetate was used to prepare reversibly photoresponsive coumarin-stabilized polymeric nanoparticles in an aqueous medium, which act as a detectable drug carrier.

A series of derivatisation reactions between p-t-butyl calix[4]arene and ethyl bromoacetate were carried out in order to prepare 1,3 diester substituted calix[4]arene. Mass spectral data, obtained from direct injection of samples, indicated that the reactions were rich in the desired

The ability to create aqueous suspended stable nanoparticles of the hydrophobic homopolymer poly(ϵ-caprolactone) end-functionalized with coumarin moieties (CPCL) is demonstrated. Nanoparticles of CPCL are prepared in a continuous manner using nanoprecipitation. The resulting nanoparticles are spherical in morphology, about 40

Copper(I) oxide can effectively co-catalyze the Suzuki type cross-coupling reactions of arylboronic acids with ethyl bromoacetate. As an alternative protocol for introducing the methylenecarboxy group into functionalized molecules, this reaction occurs in the absence of highly toxic thallium compounds or

Certain new derivatives of 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines were synthesized through the reaction of 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-7-ol with ethyl bromoacetate to afford the ethyl acetate ester, which upon hydrazinolysis gives the corresponding hydrazide. The hydrazide is the key intermediate which was used for the synthesis
