Properties | 4-bromo-2-nitrobenzaldehyde (4-Bromo-2-nitrobenzaldehyde), also known as 2-nitro-4-bromobenzaldehyde, its molecular formula is C7H4BrNO3, The molecular weight is 230.02, the CAS number is 5551-12-2, and the melting point is 95-99°C. |
use | 4-bromo-2-nitrobenzaldehyde can be used in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds. For example, Novartis of Switzerland uses it to synthesize small molecule inhibitors of 3-phosphate inositol-dependent kinase(PDK1), which can be used to treat proliferative diseases. |
synthesis method | Switzerland Novartis proposed a two-step preparation of 4-bromo-2-nitrobenzaldehyde from 4-bromo-2-nitrobenzoic acid Scheme: 1) Slowly add borane (1.0M/THF,4eq) to the THF suspension of 0.5M 4-bromo-2-nitrobenzoic acid in the ice bath. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 48h. LCMS indicated that the reaction was complete. The mixture is re-cooled to 0°C and quenched with methanol and concentrated to remove the solvent. The residue is added to ethyl acetate and the organic phase is washed with water, saturated sodium bicarbonate, brine, dried on sodium sulfate and concentrated to obtain a yellow solid with a 95% yield, I .e. (4-bromo-2-nitrophenyl) methanol. 2) Manganese (IV) oxide (4eq) was added to a dichloromethane solution of 0.18M (4-bromo-2-nitrophenyl) methanol. The suspension was stirred in argon at room temperature for 12h. The reaction mixture was filtered by salt C, and the filter cake was washed with dichloromethane. The mixed filtrate is concentrated to produce brown solids with 78% productivity. |
