CAS 10485-09-3: 2-Bromoindene

2-Bromoindene is used as pharmaceutical intermediate. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

2-Bromoindene is a fluxional molecule that can adopt different conformations. 2-Bromoindene has a high fluxionality, which is the degree to which it undergoes tautomeric or structural change. This property can be attributed to the presence of functional groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on its structure. 2-Bromoindene has been shown to react with zirconium dichloride in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate to form a cross-coupling product with ferrocene. It also reacts with stilbene derivatives in the presence of an electron acceptor such as ferric chloride, forming an aryl boronic acid. 2-Bromoindene is soluble in organic solvents, making it easy to extract for analysis by gas chromatography (GC). The compound can also be analyzed by infrared spectroscopy (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spect
