Extraction and presentation
Racemic 2-bromobutyric acid is easy to prepare from butyric acid , elemental bromine and red phosphorus . This formation reaction is called the Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky reaction . The volatile esters are irritating to tears.
The pure enantiomers - ( R ) -2-bromobutyric acid and ( S ) -2-bromobutyric acid - can be prepared from ( RS ) -2-bromobutyric acid by resolution . This succeeded z. B. chromatographically on a chiral stationary phase.
Reactions
2-bromobutyric acid reacts with water in the presence of triethylamine to form 2-hydroxybutyric acid .
Reaction with aqueous NH 3 produces α-aminobutyric acid .
