4-Bromobenzyl alcohol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

WHITE TO SLIGHTLY BEIGE CRYSTALS OR CRYST. POWDER

Uses

4-Bromobenzyl alcohol was used in the synthesis of:

General Description

4-Bromobenzyl alcohol undergoes three-component reaction with acetylferrocene and arylboronic acid to give ferrocenyl ketones containing biaryls. It undergoes oxidation reaction in the presence of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone-supported hydrogen peroxide, silica sulfuric acid and ammonium bromide to yield 4-bromobenzaldehyde. It undergoes efficient trimethylsilylation reaction with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane in the presence of catalytic amount of aspartic acid in acetonitrile.
