Product Information

• Name: 2,6-Dibromobenzamide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,6-Dibromobenzamide is a reagent that has been used in the synthesis of benzoic amides and esters. It is used to convert primary alcohols or other functional groups into the corresponding benzoyl derivatives. This reagent is also used for halogenating aromatic compounds such as phenol and anisole. 2,6-Dibromobenzamide can be used to synthesize substances such as chloroformates, bromides, and iodides. This compound is also useful for transforming substances into different functional groups. For example, 2,6-dibromobenzamide can transform amides into esters or halogenate benzene rings with a variety of halogens. The mechanism is believed to involve the formation of a diazonium salt intermediate followed by loss of nitrogen gas and rearrangement to form the desired product.
