3-bromo-4-methylbenzonitrile

Description:

3-Bromo-4-methylbenzonitrile is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a bromine atom and a methyl group attached to a benzene ring, along with a nitrile functional group (-C≡N). This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow solid and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, while being less soluble in water. The presence of the bromine atom introduces notable reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis processes, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions. The nitrile group contributes to its polarity and can participate in further chemical transformations. 3-Bromo-4-methylbenzonitrile is often utilized in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for the development of biologically active compounds. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use and storage.

2-Bromo-4-cyanotoluene

CAS: 42872-74-2

2-Bromo-4-cyanotoluene is a ligand that is used in cross-coupling reactions. It is used to form complexes with metals, such as palladium and nickel, for the preparation of organometallic reagents. 2-Bromo-4-cyanotoluene has been shown to inhibit secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) and PLA2 activity in a fluorimetric assay. This compound also inhibits the catalytic activity of spla2, which is an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of arachidonic acid. 2-Bromo-4-cyanotoluene also inhibits piperazine synthesis by reacting with the nitrogen atom on the piperazine ring.
