Ethyl 7-bromoheptanoate is a bromoester. It is used as an alkylating agent for organic compounds.It participates in the synthesis of ω-chain shortened prostaglandins.Ethyl 7-bromoheptanoate may be used in the following studies:As a starting material in the synthesis of benzyl 7-iodoheptanoate.As one of the reactant in the synthesis of diethyl 7,7′-(2,5-diiodo-1,4-phenylene)bis(oxy)diheptanoate.As one of the reagent in the synthesis of CarnDOD-7C, a carnitine-derived nitrone.As an alkylating agent in the alkylation of ethyl 3-oxoglutarate to form 2-(6-ethoxycarbonylhexyl)-3-oxoglutarate.Synthesis of 1-substituted cyclopentadiene by alkylating lithium cyclopentadienide.
