Product Information

• Name: 1-Bromo-4-methylnaphthalene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Bromo-4-methylnaphthalene is a brominating agent that reacts with alkenes and alkynes to form bromides. It is a Grignard reagent that can be used for the preparation of chiral derivatives, such as enantiomers, by adding an alkyl halide or other electrophile. This reaction is stereospecific and produces a single diastereomer due to the chiral center present in the compound. 1-Bromo-4-methylnaphthalene has been shown to react with vinyl ethers and form 1,3-diphenylpropane. The addition of this compound to a solution containing an azaarene leads to the formation of a chromatogram that consists of two peaks corresponding to the two possible stereoisomers. 1-Bromo-4-methylnaphthalene also has hydrogen bonding interactions with naphthalene and singlet oxygen,
