Description

3'-Bromo-4'-methylacetophenone is a reactive methyl ester that binds to the receptor in the central nervous system. It has been found to be an effective anti-cancer drug, and also inhibits serotonin release in the brain. 3'-Bromo-4'-methylacetophenone is chiral, meaning it can exist as two different forms, or enantiomers. These two forms have different pharmacological profiles, with one being more potent than the other. 3'-Bromo-4'-methylacetophenone is synthesized from methylamine and acetaldehyde using diethyl ether as a solvent. The reaction product is then hydrolyzed by acetonitrile to produce the final product. This drug is used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.
