One prominent application of synthetic organobromine compounds is the use of polybrominated diphenyl ethers as fire-retardants, and in fact fire-retardant manufacture is currently the major industrial use of the element bromine. 70-23-5, formula is C5H7BrO3, Name is Ethyl 3-bromo-2-oxopropanoate, Quality Control of 70-23-5
Kordmahalleh, Mohaddeseh Yahyanezhad;Moradi, Ali Varasteh;Hossaini, Zinatossadat;Golsefidi, Maziar Ahmadi research published 《 Synthesis and evaluation of antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of new spiropyrrolopyrrolizine compounds: Using Fe3O4/TiO2/Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) magnetic nanocomposites》, the research content is summarized as follows. The Fe3O4/TiO2/multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) magnetic nanocomposites was synthesized using water extract of Spinacia oleracea leaves, and the high performance of synthesized catalyst was confirmed by employing of it in the multicomponent reaction of reaction of isatoic anhydride, tert-butylisocyanide, diamines, or hydroxyamines, electron-deficient acetylenic ester, α-haloketones and Et3N in water at ambient temperature for the production of new spiropyrrolopyrrolizine compounds in high yields. This catalyst could be used several times in these reactions and have main role in the yield of product. The synthesized compounds have NH and OH group in their structure and for this reason have good antioxidant activity. Also, employing Gram-pos. and Gram-neg. bacteria in the disk diffusion procedure confirmed the some spiropyrrolopyrrolizine derivatives antimicrobial effect. The results showed that synthesized compounds prevented the bacterial growth. This used procedure for preparation of spiropyrrolopyrrolizine derivatives have some advantages such as low reaction time, product with high yields and simple separation of catalyst and products.
70-23-5, Ethyl bromopyruvate molecular formula is C5H7BrO3 and its molecular weight is 195.01 g/mol. The purity is usually 95%.
Ethyl bromopyruvate is used in a synthesis of thioxothiazolidines from carbon disulfide and primary amines.
Ethyl bromopyruvate is a chemical inhibitor that inhibits the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase, which is responsible for the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl-CoA. This inhibition leads to a decrease in ATP levels and can cause metabolic disorders. Ethyl bromopyruvate is used as an anthelmintic drug and in asymmetric synthesis. It is also used in the synthesis of thiostrepton, an antibiotic that has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae., Quality Control of 70-23-5
