Application

Dibromoacetic acid can be used as a reactant:
  • Forthe stereoselective synthesis of (E)-α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acidsby samarium diiodide (SmI2) catalyzed reaction with aldehydes.
  • Tosynthesize sodium bis(2-pyridylthio)acetate ligand by reacting with 2-mercaptopyridinein the presence of NaOH.
