Product Information

• Name: 2-Bromo-4-cyanotoluene
• Synonyms: 3-Bromo-4-methylbenzonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Bromo-4-cyanotoluene is a ligand that is used in cross-coupling reactions. It is used to form complexes with metals, such as palladium and nickel, for the preparation of organometallic reagents. 2-Bromo-4-cyanotoluene has been shown to inhibit secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) and PLA2 activity in a fluorimetric assay. This compound also inhibits the catalytic activity of spla2, which is an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of arachidonic acid. 2-Bromo-4-cyanotoluene also inhibits piperazine synthesis by reacting with the nitrogen atom on the piperazine ring.
