Description

5-Bromothiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester is an alkene that is used in the synthesis of molybdenum trioxide and other polyhalogenated compounds. It can be prepared by alkylation of 5-bromothiophene with ethyl bromoacetate in the presence of carbon tetrachloride and a halide, such as bromine. The use of photophysical optimization has been shown to significantly improve the yield of this reaction. The reactive nature of 5-bromothiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester makes it suitable for use in organic synthesis. This compound has been shown to have a positive effect on bone mass, which may be due to its ability to inhibit osteoclasts, reducing the activity of these cells that break down bone tissue.
