4(1H)-Cinnolinone,6-bromo-3-chloro-

Description:

4(1H)-Cinnolinone, 6-bromo-3-chloro- is a heterocyclic organic compound characterized by its cinnolinone core, which features a fused bicyclic structure containing both a pyridine and a pyrimidine ring. The presence of bromine and chlorine substituents at the 6 and 3 positions, respectively, introduces significant reactivity and influences the compound's physical and chemical properties. This compound typically exhibits a pale yellow to off-white crystalline appearance and is soluble in organic solvents, such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and dimethylformamide (DMF), but may have limited solubility in water. Its molecular structure suggests potential applications in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, due to the biological activity often associated with cinnolinone derivatives. Additionally, the halogen substituents can enhance the compound's reactivity in various chemical reactions, making it a valuable intermediate in synthetic organic chemistry. As with many halogenated compounds, appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling this substance due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
