Product Information

• Name: 5-Bromo-1-pentene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Bromo-1-pentene (5BP) is an antitumoral drug that has potent inhibitory activity against the t-cell leukemia cell line and other tumor cells. 5BP is an organoborane ester with a bromine atom at the 1-position. It is synthesized by reacting trifluoroacetic acid with a hydrohalic acid such as hydrochloric acid, or with a metal halide such as sodium carbonate, followed by reaction with dimethyl formamide and n-dimethylformamide. The 5BP molecule has a coordination geometry of octahedral and its structure consists of three hydrogen atoms, two methyl groups, one hydroxyl group, and one unsaturated alkyl group. The mechanism of action of 5BP is still unclear. The inhibition of protein synthesis may be due to the steric hindrance caused by the bulky bromine atom at the 1 position on the benzene ring.
