2-Bromo-1-(o-tolyl)ethan-1-one (CAS 56078-49-2; C9H9BrO) is a specialized brominated ketone intermediate synthesized via Friedel-Crafts acylation followed by alpha-halogenation. It serves as a critical building block in organic synthesis for constructing complex heterocyclic frameworks.
Requires storage in cool, dry, ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Personnel must wear PPE including nitrile gloves and safety goggles due to corrosive and irritant properties. Strict adherence to local hazardous waste regulations is mandatory during disposal.
