FormLiquid
2-(2-Bromoethyl)-1,3-dioxolane is used as a pharmaceutical intermediate, dioxolanes, acetals, ketals, building blocks, chemical synthesis, organic building blocks and oxygen compounds. 1,1-(Ethylenedioxy)-3-bromopropane is used in the synthesis of EGFR inhibitors. Also used in the synthesis of orally active agents of cancer and cell proliferation with quinoline substructures. It is also used as flavouring agent.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
