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.

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
