4-Bromophenylacetic acid, also known as p-bromophenylacetic acid, is an organic compound. It is a derivative of phenylacetic acid containing a bromine atom in the para position.

Contents

Preparation

4-Bromophenylacetic acid may be prepared by the addition of a bromine atom to phenylacetic acid through electrophilic aromatic substitution. It was first prepared in the laboratory by treatment of phenylacetic acid with bromine and mercuric oxide; a mixture of the 2- and 4- isomers is made, and the 4- isomer is isolated by fractional crystallization. [1]

It can also be made by condensing 4-bromobenzyl bromide with sodium cyanide in ethanol, and then hydrolyzing the nitrile with sodium hydroxide. [2]

Reactions

Methyl 4-bromophenylacetate is made from 4-bromophenylacetic acid by Fischer esterification, refluxing it with methanol acidified with sulfuric acid. [3] An ethyl ester can be made in an analogous way using ethanol instead of methanol. [4]

A hydrazone derivative, 2-(4-bromophenyl)acetohydrazide, is made by refluxing the methyl ester with hydrazine. [3] Further hydrazone derivatives of 4-bromophenylacetic acid are made by condensing the simple hydrazone with aldehydes, forming a double bond with the second nitrogen. [3] At least 19 of these hydrazones are known. [3]

4-Bromophenylacetic acid is a chemical that can be purchased. [5]

Plant protoplasts conjugate aspartic acid with 4-bromophenylacetic acid to form 4-bromophenylacetyl-L-aspartic acid. [2]

4-Bromophenylacetic acid reacts with sodium tetraphenylborate to form felbinac which can be further converted to xenbucin. [4]

Properties

The ionic conductance has been measured. [6]
