PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Dibromoacetic acid is a monocarboxylic acid that is acetic acid in which two of the methyl hydrogens are replaced by bromo groups. It has a role as a marine metabolite, an apoptosis inducer and a geroprotector. It is a monocarboxylic acid and a 2-bromocarboxylic acid. It is functionally related to an acetic acid.
