Overview
About HBr in Acetic Acid 33%
HBr in acetic acid is a solution of hydrogen bromide in glacial acetic acid, at 33% HBr by weight.
Because it contains no water, it is used where aqueous hydrobromic acid is unsuitable, particularly in pharmaceutical and fine chemical synthesis.
Common uses include removing protecting groups, cleaving ethers and esters, and adding hydrogen bromide to organic molecules.
Made from fresh virgin bromine. Our HBr in acetic acid, like all our bromine derivatives, is made from fresh virgin bromine.
