Product Information

• Name: 3-Bromothiophene-2-carbaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Bromothiophene-2-carbaldehyde is an organic compound that has been shown to have antibacterial activity. It can be synthesized by reacting triethyl orthoformate with methyl ketones in the presence of a photocatalyst such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. This reaction produces 3-bromothiophene-2-carboxylic acid which reacts with ammonia and hydrogen bromide to form 3-bromothiophene-2-carbaldehyde. 3-Bromothiophene-2-carbaldehyde has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and induce apoptosis, which may be due to its ability to inhibit angiogenesis. The anticancer properties are most likely due to its ability to bind DNA and inhibit protein synthesis, leading to cell death.
