2-Bromomethylprop-2-en-1-yl acetate; synthesis and applications

Abstract

Fluoride-ion-mediated elimination of hydrogen bromide from 3-bromo-2-bromomethylpropyl acetate gave the title compound, the bromine atom of which was specifically substituted by various nucleophiles to yield the corresponding phenyl sulphone, dimethyl malonate, diethylamine, and benzyl sulphide derivatives.
