Bromoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal, is used as a synthetic building block. It is mainly used for synthesis of antibiotics such as erythromycin and cephalosporins and to other drugs. It also can be used as pharmaceutical intermediates. Besides, this chemical can be used to pruduce drugs such as methylthio imidazole, chlorpheniramine and others for thyroid. It also acts as a Useful intermediate for the preparation of other ?-heterosubstituted acetaldehyde acetals.
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.
