1-(bromomethyl)-2,4-dimethylbenzene

Description:

1-(Bromomethyl)-2,4-dimethylbenzene, also known as bromomethyl-2,4-xylene, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups and a bromomethyl group. The presence of the bromomethyl group introduces a reactive site, making it useful in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a relatively low boiling point, indicative of its volatility. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. The compound is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of other chemical intermediates and in the development of pharmaceuticals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as brominated compounds can be hazardous, and appropriate measures should be implemented to minimize exposure and environmental impact.

2,4-Dimethylbenzyl bromide

CAS: 78831-87-5

2,4-Dimethylbenzyl bromide is an electron-deficient amine that has anticancer activity. It inhibits the kinase domain of proteins by binding to the amide group of the amino acid lysine. 2,4-Dimethylbenzyl bromide also inhibits chloride ion channels in cancer cells and has a supramolecular inhibitory effect on sorafenib. This compound was shown to be effective against tumor cells with mutations in the kinase domain of the protein BCR-ABL. 2,4-Dimethylbenzyl bromide is an analog of imatinib and may have similar properties.
