Product Information

• Name: 1-Chloro-2-(4-ethoxybenzyl)-4-iodobenzene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Chloro-2-(4-ethoxybenzyl)-4-iodobenzene is a synthetic chemical compound that can be used to synthesize dapagliflozin. It is an inhibitor of the enzyme sglt2, which enhances insulin secretion and lowers blood sugar levels. The synthesis of 1-chloro-2-(4-ethoxybenzyl)-4-iodobenzene starts with the reaction of an acetate ester with magnesium metal. This process generates ethers, leaving behind a Grignard reagent and an acetic acid byproduct. The Grignard reagent reacts with iodine and ethyl bromide to form 1-chloro-2-(4-ethoxybenzyl)-4-iodobenzene.
