Methyl 3-bromopropionate CAS 3395-91-3

1. Methyl 3-bromopropionate is primarily used as an alkylating agent and a versatile C3-building block in organic synthesis, particularly for introducing the 3-bromopropionyl group into target molecules.
2. Methyl 3-bromopropionate CAS 3395-91-3 serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and crop protection agents.
3. Methyl 3-bromopropionate functions as a monomer or reactive modifier in polymer chemistry for the preparation of functionalized polymers and materials.

1. Store methyl 3-bromopropionate in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, protected from light and moisture, in tightly sealed containers made of corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., glass or certain plastics).
2. Keep methyl 3-bromopropionate CAS 3395-91-3 strictly separate from strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, and reactive metals to prevent hazardous decomposition or violent reactions.
3. Handle methyl 3-bromopropionate with extreme care using non-sparking tools and grounded equipment; ensure containers are clearly labeled and stored in a dedicated, secure area.

1. Immediately evacuate and isolate the spill area, eliminate all ignition sources, and ensure forced ventilation; avoid direct contact and prevent the liquid from entering drains or soil.
2. Carefully absorb spilled methyl 3-bromopropionate CAS 3395-91-3 with inert, non-combustible materials (e.g., sand, vermiculite); collect into sealed, labeled containers for disposal as hazardous chemical waste.
3. Clean the contaminated surface thoroughly with a suitable solvent or detergent under controlled conditions; collect all contaminated materials and dispose of them in full compliance with local, national, and international regulations for corrosive and hazardous substances.

1. Methyl 3-bromopropionate is corrosive and causes severe skin burns, eye damage, and respiratory tract irritation upon contact or inhalation of vapors/mists.
2. Methyl 3-bromopropionate CAS 3395-91-3 is harmful if swallowed or inhaled, and repeated or prolonged exposure may cause damage to specific organs; it is also a lachrymator (tear-producing agent).
3. Always handle methyl 3-bromopropionate in a certified fume hood or with adequate local exhaust, wearing appropriate PPE including chemical-resistant gloves, face shield, chemical goggles, and protective clothing.
