ACETYL BROMIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Acetyl bromide is a colorless, fuming liquid with a pungent odor, represented by the chemical formula CH3COBr. It is used primarily as an acetylating agent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of esters and amides. Acetyl bromide reacts vigorously with water, alcohols, and amines, releasing hydrogen bromide and acetic acid. Due to its high reactivity and corrosiveness, proper handling and storage are essential to prevent accidents and exposure. Personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and respirators, should be used to ensure safety. Acetyl bromide should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from moisture and incompatible substances. Always refer to the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for detailed safety and handling instructions.
