Description

2-Phenylethyl bromide

2-Phenylethyl bromide also known as (2-Bromoethyl)benzene is an organobromide with the formula C₆H₅CH₂CH₂Br. It is a colorless liquid, although older samples appear yellow. Analogous to the preparation of most 1-bromoalkanes, it is prepared by free-radical addition of hydrogen bromide to styrene.

These conditions lead to anti-Markovnikov addition, giving the 1-bromo derivatives. Upon reaction with hydrazine, phenelzine is produced and It can also be used to produce fentanyl and is on the Special Surveillance
