General description

3-Bromo-4-methoxybenzaldehyde is formed by the solvent-free bromination of 4-methoxybenzaldehyde using 1,3-di-n-butylimidazolium tribromide, as a brominating reagent.

Application

3-Bromo-4-methoxybenzaldehyde may be used in the following studies:
  • Asymmetric synthesis of a novel β-hydroxy-α-amino acid derivative, via Mukaiyama aldol reaction.
  • Synthesis of 2-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)-5-fluorobenzothiazole.
  • Preparation of 5-[(Z)-2-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)vinyl]-1,2-3-trimethoxybenzene.
  • Total synthesis of engelhardione.
  • Starting reagent for the synthesis of (2E)-3-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-methylphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one.
