Research Alkylating Agent CAS 1451-83-8

2-Bromo-1-(3-methylphenyl)propan-1-one CAS 1451-83-8, commonly referred to as 2-bromo-3´-methylpropiophenone or 2-bromo-3-methylpropiophenone, is an α-brominated ketone. It is an aryl alkyl ketone derivative where a bromine atom is substituted at the alpha-carbon of the propiophenone chain, and a methyl group is present on the phenyl ring at the meta position. This structure makes it a valuable alkylating agent and electrophilic building block in organic synthesis.
