Application

2-Bromopropionyl bromide has been used in the synthesis of:
  • cellulose macroinitiator via direct acylation of cellulose in ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride[1]
  • 3-(2-bromopropionyl)-2-oxazolidone derivatives[2]
  • bromoester terminated poly(3-hexylthiophene), used as macroinitiator for atom transfer radical polymerization of acrylates[3].

Cellulose-graft-poly(N,N-dimethylamino-2-ethyl methacrylate) (cellulose-g-PDMAEMA) copolymers were prepared by homogeneous atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) under mild conditions. Cellulose macroinitiator was successfully synthesized by direct acylation of cellulose with 2-bromopropionyl bromide in a room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL), 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride.
