General description

The interaction of bromomethyl acetate with O(6)-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (DNA repair protein) was studied in vitro.

Application

Bromomethyl acetate was used in synthesis of optically active cyclohexene antisepsis agent, ethyl (6R)-6-[N-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)sulfamoyl]cyclohex-1-ene-1-carboxylate [(R)-1: TAK-242)]. It was also used as reagent in samarium diiodide-mediated conversion of ketones and aldehydes to 1,2-diacetates.
