Product Information
2-(Bromomethyl)benzaldehyde is a reactive carbonyl compound that has been synthesized in the laboratory. It is alkylated with an amine to form isoindolines, which are important compounds in the translation process. 2-Bromomethylbenzaldehyde reacts with nucleophiles such as water and alcohols to produce carbinols, which are classified as reaction products of dehydration. Mechanistic studies have shown that bromide ion protonates the carbonyl group of 2-bromomethylbenzaldehyde, which then acts as a nucleophile and attacks an adjacent protonated carbonyl group, resulting in the formation of a new covalent bond. This reaction is reversible because the protonated carbonyl group can be deprotonated by another acid molecule. The nature of 2-bromomethylbenzaldehyde is chiral due to its two identical enantiomers. The sol
