Product Information

• Name: Ethyl 4-bromobenzoate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ethyl 4-bromobenzoate is a halide that can be synthesized by the cross-coupling reaction with an aryl halide and a boronic acid. This synthesis has been used successfully to prepare benzoates, which are generally more difficult to synthesize than boronic acids. The coupling reaction of ethyl 4-bromobenzoate with an aryl halide and a boronic acid in the presence of copper as catalyst yields ethyl 4-bromobenzoate in high yield. A synergistic interaction occurs between the two reagents, leading to significant cytotoxicity in vitro. This property may be due to the light emission from this compound when it is exposed to ultraviolet light. Ethyl 4-bromobenzoate is also able to inhibit aerobic glycolysis and cancer cell growth in vitro through its ability to inhibit the activity of phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK1
