• Synonyms: 5-Bromo-2-phenylindole

Description

5-Bromo-2-phenyl-1H-indole is a dye sensitizer for solar cells. It is also used for the synthesis of other indoles, such as 3,4-dibromo-2,5-diphenyl-1H-indole. 5BPA has been shown to be an efficient sensitizer in dye-sensitized solar cells with a conversion efficiency of 8.6%. This compound has been found to be a regioselective synthesis and the reaction mechanism is well known. The transformation of 5BPA into 3,4-dibromo-2,5-diphenyl-1H-indole is accomplished through selective bromination of the 2 position on the phenyl ring followed by acid hydrolysis of the ester group at the 5 position on the indole ring.
