Application

Dibromoacetic acid can be used as a reactant:
  • Forthe stereoselective synthesis of (E)-α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acidsby samarium diiodide (SmI2) catalyzed reaction with aldehydes.
  • Tosynthesize sodium bis(2-pyridylthio)acetate ligand by reacting with 2-mercaptopyridinein the presence of NaOH.

Water disinfection by-products, such as dibromoacetic acid (DBA), are formed when drinking water is treated with chlorination, bromination, or ozonation. Epidemiological studies have linked these byproducts to adverse effects in humans such as cancer, developmental defects, and reproductive toxicities. DBA
