Description

(2-Bromophenyl)Cyclopropylmethanone CAS NO 676541-38-1 is a specialized organic building block featuring a brominated aromatic ketone core fused with a cyclopropane ring. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing complex molecules in advanced pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process development scientists working on novel active ingredients, heterocyclic compounds, and materials science applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of potential drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in developing novel herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides with unique modes of action.
• Material Science: Building block for creating advanced organic frameworks, ligands for catalysis, and specialty polymers.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile electrophile in cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Buchwald-Hartwig) and for constructing complex heterocycles.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Essential reagent for methodological studies and exploring new synthetic pathways in organic chemistry.
