• Synonyms: Benzyl p-bromophenyl ether1-Bromo-4-(benzyloxy)benzene1-Bromo-4-(phenylmethoxy)benzene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Benzyloxy-1-bromobenzene is a halide that can be synthesized by reacting 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with 1-bromoethane in the presence of copper(II) acetate. This reaction is catalyzed by copper(II) acetate and occurs at room temperature. The product has an enantiomeric purity of 99% and is a scalable synthesis, which makes it ideal for commercial production. It has been shown to bind to the CB1 receptor, which may lead to therapeutic applications. 4-Benzyloxy-1-bromobenzene has also been shown to have estrogenic activity and may be used as a synthetic precursor to drugs that are metabolized by CYP3A4.
