Applications
Ethyl dibromofluoroacetate is a reagent used in the preparation of fluorinated molecules in organic synthesis. It is involved in the Reformatsky-type reaction to prepare syn-alfa-bromo-alfa-fluoro-beta-lactams by using diethylzinc. It is also used to prepare 2-fluoroaziridine-2-carboxylates by reaction with imines.

Solubility
Miscible with most organic solvents. Immiscible with water.

Notes
Incompatible with oxidizing agents and bases.
