Applications & Uses
Uses
4-Fluorobenzyl bromide is an important intermediate in organic chemistry. 4-Fluorobenzyl bromide can be used as alkylating reagent to participate in the alkylation reaction with sulfamic esters (R-O-SO2-NH2) in liquid-liquid phase transfer conditions, resulting in the preparation of the N-dialkyled products or the corresponding ethers by scission of the O-SO2 bond, depending on the nature of R. 4-Fluorobenzyl bromide can be used for the synthesis of glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) derivatives, which are slow-binding inhibitors of tyrosinase and have inhibitory effects on melanogenesis.
Uses
4-Fluorobenzyl bromide was used in the preparation of:3-acetyl-1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-4-hydroxy-1H-indole1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-5-(pyrrolidine-1-sulfonyl)isatin(S)-1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-5-(2-(4-fluorophenoxymethyl)pyrrolidine-1-sulfonyl)isatin8-bromo 9-(4-fluorobenzyl) adenine8-bromo 3-(4-fluorobenzyl) adenine
Uses
4-Fluorobenzyl Bromide is a substituted benzyl bromide reagent used in the preparation of wide range of biologically active compounds such as bronchodialators, neurochemicals and antibacterials.
