Product Information

• Name: 4-Bromobenzaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Bromobenzaldehyde is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of aromatic compounds. It has been shown to have a potent stimulatory effect on locomotor activity in mice, which may be due to its ability to increase levels of epidermal growth factor and gamma-aminobutyric acid in the brain. 4-Bromobenzaldehyde can be synthesized from 2,4-dibromophenol and anhydrous copper chloride in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The reaction mechanism for this synthesis is believed to involve an intermediate enamine form of 4-bromobenzaldehyde, which can then undergo hydrolysis into 2,4-dibromophenol and benzaldehyde. This product is used as a reagent in organic synthesis because it can be used to form esters with trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid in high yield.
