Description

Description

2-Bromomethylquinoline is an organic compound with a bromomethyl group (-CH₂Br) attached to the 2-position of a quinoline ring. Typically, it appears as a white to light yellow crystalline solid or powder.

Applications

1. Organic Synthesis Intermediate:

   • The bromomethyl group is highly reactive and can undergo nucleophilic substitution (e.g., with amines or alcohols) to modify the quinoline ring, making it useful in synthesizing pharmaceuticals, ligands, or functional materials.

   • Example: Used as a building block in anticancer or antimalarial drug development.

2. Ligand Synthesis:

   • May serve as a precursor for nitrogen-containing ligands in metal catalysts.

3. Research Applications:

   • Used as a precursor in fluorescent labeling or bioactive molecule development.

Safety Information

• Hazards:

  • May cause skin and eye irritation.

  • May release toxic gases (e.g., HBr) upon heating or reaction.

• Handling Precautions:

  • Operate in a fume hood with protective equipment (gloves, goggles).

  • Avoid contact with strong oxidizers.
