2-Bromoresorcinol Usage And Synthesis

Properties and Applications

The cyclocondensation of 2-bromoresorcinol with some aldehydes proceeds in acetonitrile-CF3SO3H to give cyclic tetramers with high stereoselectivity. 2-bromoresorcinol, C6H5BrO2, are essentially planar and possess normal geometrical parameters. The crystal packing is influenced by O-H...O and O-H...O/Br hydrogen bonds and pi-pi stacking interactions, resulting in a distinctive high-symmetry structure containing R(4)(4)(8) rings and helical C(2) chains[1-2].
