Product Information

• Name: 1-Bromomethyl naphthalene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Bromomethyl naphthalene is a synthetic compound that has been shown to inhibit glycosidase enzymes. These enzymes are responsible for the hydrolysis of glycosides, which are an important class of natural products. The compound also has antimicrobial properties and can be used as a potential treatment for infectious diseases caused by bacteria. 1-Bromomethyl naphthalene is synthesized by reacting naphthalene with dimethylformamide in the presence of a hydroxy group and an amino group. This reaction produces an ether linkage with water molecules and a bromine atom on one end of the molecule. 1-Bromomethyl naphthalene inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to their enzyme glycosidase enzymes, preventing them from breaking down sugar molecules into smaller sugars.
