TCI B6616, 2-bromo-1-phenylethan-1-ol, is a benzylic bromohydrin bearing adjacent hydroxyl and bromide functionalities. Base-mediated intramolecular cyclisation converts it directly into styrene oxide, while direct nucleophilic substitution of the bromide affords a wide range of 2-substituted 1-phenylethanol derivatives. This dual reactivity makes it a versatile branch point toward epoxides, amino alcohols, and other phenylethanolamine-type motifs. AMI Scientific supplies this TCI building block in a 250 mg pack size for organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry laboratories.
