Product Information

• Name: 2-Bromo-6-nitrobenzaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Bromo-6-nitrobenzaldehyde is a chemical compound that can be synthesized by the reaction of hydrogen chloride and 2-bromoacetophenone. Mechanistically, this reaction proceeds through chlorination of the indole ring, which causes protonation and ring closure. The resulting product undergoes hydrochloric acid catalysis to form a dithioacetal, which is then chlorinated with chloroform to produce the final product. The bromine atom in 2-bromo-6-nitrobenzaldehyde is substituted with chlorine to create 2-chloro-6-nitrobenzaldehyde. This substitution changes the reactivity of the molecule, as well as its physical properties.
