Phenacyl bromide is the organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 C(O)CH 2 Br. This colourless solid is a powerful lachrymator as well as a useful precursor to other organic compounds. It is prepared by bromination of acetophenone: [2] C 6 H 5 C(O)CH 3 + Br 2 → C 6 H 5 C(O)CH 2 Br + HBr. The compound was first reported in 1871. [3]
A molecule containing a phenacyl group has the formula RCH 2 (CO)C 6 H 5 and the structure shown to the right. Here, R denotes the remainder of the molecule; for instance, if R is Br, then the compound could be called "phenacyl bromide". Note however that in the standard IUPAC nomenclature this compound would instead be called "2-bromo-1 ...
