4-Iodobenzyl bromide

<p>4-Iodobenzyl bromide is an aromatic hydrocarbon that inhibits the activity of aromatic hydroxylase, an enzyme responsible for the metabolism of aromatic compounds. It is a synthetic compound that has been used in research to study the metabolism of aromatic amino acids. 4-Iodobenzyl bromide has been shown to be effective in inhibiting the synthesis of diphenyl sulfoxide and chloride by human kidney cells in vitro. The inhibition of this reaction leads to a decrease in the concentration of these substances in urine samples. It also inhibits silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, which may be due to its ability to react with chloride ions. This product is soluble in organic solvents such as chloroformate and can be used as a functional group.</p>
