Product Information

• Name: 2-Bromo-2-phenylacetophenone
• Synonyms: Desyl bromide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Bromo-2-phenylacetophenone is a drug that has been used in the treatment of brain disorders. It is also an antioxidant that prevents radiation damage to the brain by absorbing radiation energy and dissipating it as heat. 2-Bromo-2-phenylacetophenone has shown neuroprotective effects in animals by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, which is related to cancer and inflammation. This substance can be synthesized by reacting sodium carbonate or hydroxide with an alkanoic acid in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid. The reaction products are separated from unreacted reactants and other impurities by solid phase synthesis, purified, and characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance spectra.
