2-Bromobenzyl chloride

Description:

2-Bromobenzyl chloride, with the CAS number 578-51-8, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of aryl halides. It features a benzyl group substituted with a bromine atom at the second position and a chlorine atom attached to the benzyl carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 2-Bromobenzyl chloride is reactive, particularly due to the presence of the halogen substituents, making it useful in various organic synthesis reactions, including nucleophilic substitution and coupling reactions. It is important to handle this compound with care, as it can be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use in laboratory settings. Additionally, it is advisable to store it in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances.

2-Bromobenzylchloride

CAS: 578-51-8

2-Bromobenzylchloride is an enantiopure, non-racemic chiral boronic ester that can be used as a chemical building block for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. 2-Bromobenzylchloride can undergo alkylation reactions with diphosphines to form a ligand, which is then attached to a metal center. This reaction has been shown to be efficient and suitable for the synthesis of complex molecules. 2-Bromobenzylchloride is also useful in cross-coupling reactions, which are a highly efficient method for carbon–carbon bond formation in organic synthesis. The use of this compound has led to the discovery of novel compounds, including nitroestradiol and estrogens.
