Description

General description

Boron tribromide (BBr₃) is a commonly used reagent in organic chemistry for demethylation.

Application

Reactant for preparation of:

• Drug intermediate 6-nitro-L-DOPA
• Luminescent polystyrene derivatives with sterically protected carbazolylborane moieties
• High-quality boron-doped graphene via Wurtz-type reductive coupling reaction
• Mercapto-(+)-methamphetamine haptens for synthesis of (+)-methamphetamine conjugate vaccines with improved epitope densities
• Micrometer-sized organic molecule-DNA hybrid structures
• Borane complexes via electrophilic aromatic borylation reactions
• A 5-HT2C receptor agonist
• Biphenyl-derivatives possessing tertiary amino groups as ß-secretase(BACE1) inhibitors for the treatment of Alzheimer′s disease
• A highly near-IR region fluorescent p-extended boron aza-dipyrromethene moiety unit
• Tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives via intramolecular cyclization of methoxy-substituted N-phenethylimides

Used to cleave aryl methyl ethers in a synthesis of a benzopyranobenzopyran from a coumarin scaffold.

Packaging

The 25 mL Sure/Seal^™ bottle is recommended as a single-use bottle. Repeated punctures will likely result in decreased performance of product.
