Product Information

• Name: 3,5-Dimethoxybenzyl bromide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,5-Dimethoxybenzyl bromide is a difluoro compound that has been synthesized as a potential CB2 receptor agonist. It has been shown to bind to both CB1 and CB2 receptors in cell culture. 3,5-Dimethoxybenzyl bromide has also been shown to inhibit the growth of mouse melanoma cells by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, which may be due to its ability to demethylate pterostilbene derivatives. 3,5-Dimethoxybenzyl bromide is an example of a nucleophilic agent because it can donate a proton from the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring. The chloride ion forms an ionic bond with the negatively charged oxygen atom on the benzoic acid group. This type of bond is called an ester linkage or ester bond.
