Description
Acetyl bromide is a colourless fuming liquid with pungent odour, is combustible, and
turns yellow on exposure to air. It is used as an acetylating agent in the synthesis of fine
chemicals, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. It is also used as an intermediate for dyes.
Acetylation, a case of acylation, is an organic synthesis process whereby the acetyl group
is incorporated into a molecule by substitution for protecting –OH groups.

Uses
Acetyl Bromide is used as an acetylating agent in the synthesis of fine chemicals, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. It is also used as an intermediate for dyes. Further, it reacts with alcohols and amines to produce acetate esters and acetamides. In addition to this, it is involved in the synthetic process of the anti-HIV agent.
