Description

4-Bromobenzoic acid is a hydroxylated aromatic compound that is used in organic synthesis. It can be prepared by the reaction of hydrochloric acid with benzoic acid. 4-Bromobenzoic acid inhibits the enzyme diphenolase, which catalyzes the conversion of p-hydroxybenzoic acid to tiglic acid. This inhibition prevents the production of tyrosine, an amino acid that is essential for protein synthesis and cell division. 4-Bromobenzoic acid also inhibits the activity of an enzyme called etoac extract, which catalyzes a reaction between tyrosine and ethanolamine to form dopamine and acetaldehyde. The inhibition of this enzyme prevents the production of dopamine, another amino acid that is important for protein synthesis and cell division.
