(2-Bromoethyl)benzene CAS#103-63-9
Phenethylbromide is an analytical reference substance structurally classified as an organobromide. It is utilized in the synthesis of various compounds, with fentanyl being one example. When phenethylbromide is reacted with 4-piperidinone, it produces N-phenethyl-4-piperidone; this substance acts as a precursor in fentanyl synthesis and is classified as a List I chemical in the United States. In fentanyl samples manufactured via this route, phenethylbromide may be present as an impurity.
