General description

1-Bromopyrene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)[1], is a mono bromo substituted pyrene derivative. Its synthesis has been reported.[2] Its gas phase UV-absorption spectra in the UV wavelength range at elevated temperature has been studied.[3] Electron affinitiy (EA) of 1-bromopyrene has been investigated using electron attachment desorption chemical ionization mass spectrometry (DCI-MS) and triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry.[4] It participates in the synthesis of novel ruthenium (II) bipyridine or terpyridine complexes bearing pyrene moiety.[5] The reaction of 1-bromopyrene cation radical with water in acetonitrile has been analyzed using the electron transfer stopped-flow (ETSF) method.[6]

Application

1-Bromopyrene is suitable reagent used in the comparative study of effect of substituents of some pyrene derivatives in inducing phototoxicity, DNA damage and repair in human skin keratinocytes[1] and light-induced lipid peroxidation in methanol.[7] It is suitable reagent used in the study to investigate the UV photon-assisted thermal decomposition of PAHs at elevated temperature.[8]
1-Bromopyrene may be used as a standard to compare its spectral properties with that of pyrene based fluorescence probe.[9] It may be used to study the effects of the addition of halogen hetero-atoms on the vapor pressures and thermodynamics of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.[10]
It may be used in the synthesis of the following:
  • 2-methyl-4-pyren-1-yl-but-3-yn-2-ol[2]
  • 1-ethynylpyrene[2]
  • silsesquioxane (SSQ) based hybrid[11]
  • ruthenium nanoparticles functionalized with pyrene moiety[12]
  • mono- and di-pyrenyl perfluoroalkanes[13]
  • oligo(1-bromopyrene)(OBrP) films[14]
  • dinitropyrene-derived DNA adduct[15]

Due to the symmetrical property of pyrene (Py), trans-dihydrodiols formed at 4,5- and 9,10-positions are identical, as are the monohydroxylated products (phenols) formed at C1, C3, C6, and C8 positions. With a bromo substituent at C1 position of Py, 1-bromopyrene
