:3-(Bromomethyl)thiophene
Description:
3-(Bromomethyl)thiophene is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thiophene ring, which is a five-membered aromatic heterocycle containing sulfur. The compound features a bromomethyl group (-CH2Br) attached to the third position of the thiophene ring, influencing its reactivity and properties. This substitution can enhance the compound's electrophilic character, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions. The presence of the bromine atom also contributes to its potential as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. 3-(Bromomethyl)thiophene is typically a colorless to light yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. It is soluble in organic solvents, which makes it suitable for applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as brominated compounds can be hazardous.

3-Bromomethylthiophene
CAS:<p>3-Bromomethylthiophene is a monomer that has been shown to inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol. This inhibition is due to the inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, which converts HMGCoA to mevalonate and is an enzyme involved in the synthesis of cholesterol. The kinetics of this reaction were studied using UV spectroscopy and kinetic analysis. The optical properties of 3-bromomethylthiophene have also been examined using fluorescence microscopy. It has also been shown to have antihypertensive activity, which may be due to its ability to inhibit angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE).</p>Formula:C5H5BrSPurity:Min. 90%Color and Shape:Clear LiquidMolecular weight:177.06 g/mol
