Pharmaceutical Field: It is used as an intermediate for some drugs in the pharmaceutical industry.
Other Uses: It can also be used as a refrigerant, solvent, analytical reagent, and for the ethylation of gasoline.
Production Methods
Reaction of Ethanol with Sodium Bromide: Add 40% sodium bromide solution and ethanol into the reaction kettle, stir and add sulfuric acid, control the temperature not to exceed 50ºC. After the addition, react at 45 - 50ºC for 2 hours, distill, neutralize the distillate with 3% sodium carbonate solution, and stand to separate the organic phase to obtain bromoethane.
Reaction of Ethanol with Bromine: Slowly add bromine to the suspension of sulfur and water under stirring, keep the temperature at 35 - 40ºC, then add ethanol, and add sulfuric acid at 25 - 28ºC. React for 42 hours and distill to collect the fraction at 38 - 39ºC to obtain bromoethane.
Storage and Transportation
Storage: It should be stored in a cool and ventilated warehouse, away from fire and heat sources. Keep the container sealed. It should be stored separately from oxidants, alkalis and food chemicals, and avoid mixing storage.
Transportation: During transportation, make sure that the container does not leak, collapse, fall or be damaged. Transport it according to the regulations for dangerous goods transportation.
