General description

Ethyl bromopyruvate, also known as Bromopyruvic acid ethyl ester, is an alkyl-substituted α-bromoketones, that is commonly used as a building block in various organic reaction, such as in the synthesis of 1,3-Oxazoline-2-thiones and 3-bromoimidazopyridines.

Application

Ethyl bromopyruvate is used as an electrophile:
  • for the synthesis of thiazoles with substituted benzothioamides
Also, employed in a synthesis of thioxothiazolidines from primary amines and carbon disulfide.
