4-Bromo Benzaldehyde
AD PHARMACHEM is known for manufacturer of 4-Bromo Benzaldehyde intermediates.
4-Bromo Benzaldehyde, also known as para-bromobenzaldehyde, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C7H5BrO. It belongs to the class of aromatic aldehydes, which are characterized by the presence of an aldehyde group (-CHO) attached to a benzene ring. In 4-Bromo Benzaldehyde, a bromine atom is substituted at the para (4th) position relative to the aldehyde group on the benzene ring.
We are manufacturer of high-quality API Intermediats, 4-Bromo benzaldehyde is a colorless liquid. It displays reactivity characteristic of benzaldehyde and an aryl bromide. 4-Bromobenzaldehyde – plays an important role in palladium-catalyzed mono-and bis-arylation of 3,4-(ethylenedioxy)thiophenes. It is employed in a cross-coupling study with potassium vinyltrifluoroborate.4-Bromobenzaldehyde, or p-bromobenzaldehyde, is an organobromine compound with the formula BrC 6H 4CHO. It is one of three isomers of bromobenzaldehyde.
