1-Bromopyrene

Description:

1-Bromopyrene is an organic compound that belongs to the class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and is characterized by the presence of a bromine atom attached to the pyrene structure. Its molecular formula is C16H11Br, indicating it consists of 16 carbon atoms, 11 hydrogen atoms, and one bromine atom. This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is known for its relatively low solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. 1-Bromopyrene is often used in research and industrial applications, particularly in the synthesis of other organic compounds and as a reagent in various chemical reactions. It is important to note that, like many PAHs, 1-bromopyrene may exhibit environmental persistence and potential toxicity, necessitating careful handling and consideration of safety protocols during its use. Additionally, it may be involved in studies related to its biological effects, including mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, which are common concerns associated with many brominated aromatic compounds.

1-Bromopyrene

CAS: 1714-29-0

1-Bromopyrene is a chemical that has been shown to be mutagenic and a carcinogen. It has been used extensively in research as a fluorescence probe for DNA, due to its ability to bind to dioxygen and other oxygen nucleophiles. 1-Bromopyrene reacts with the molecule pyrene, which emits light of different wavelengths depending on the type of reaction. The diazonium salt formed from this reaction is an effective electron donor in organic reactions and can be used as a chemical oxidant. 1-Bromopyrene also has significant photochemical properties.
1-Bromopyrene binds to DNA via hydrogen bonding between the bromine atom and the phosphate group of deoxyribose sugar in DNA, forming a covalent bond that alters the conformation of DNA by opening up the double helix structure. This causes oxidative damage to DNA by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and decreasing cellular antioxidant capacity.
