In 2019,Chemical Communications (Cambridge, United Kingdom) included an article by Tanini, Damiano; Lupori, Beatrice; Malevolti, Gianni; Ambrosi, Moira; Nostro, Pierandrea Lo; Capperucci, Antonella. Safety of Methyl 3-bromopropanoate. The article was titled 《Direct biocatalysed synthesis of first sulfur-, selenium- and tellurium- containing L-ascorbyl hybrid derivatives with radical trapping and GPx-like properties》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
6-O-L-Ascorbyl selenoesters, thioesters and telluroesters, e.g., I, II, and III, resp., can be efficiently and directly prepared from L-ascorbic acid and suitable functionalized chalcogenoesters through lipase-catalyzed transesterification reactions. Novel synthesized L-ascorbyl derivatives exhibited remarkable chain breaking and glutathione peroxidase-like activities. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of Methyl 3-bromopropanoate(cas: 3395-91-3Safety of Methyl 3-bromopropanoate)
Methyl 3-bromopropanoate(cas: 3395-91-3) belongs to bromides. Most organobromine compounds, like most organohalide compounds, are relatively nonpolar. Bromine is more electronegative than carbon (2.9 vs 2.5). Consequently, the carbon in a carbon–bromine bond is electrophilic, i.e. alkyl bromides are alkylating agents.Safety of Methyl 3-bromopropanoate
