CAS 106848-38-8: 1-BENZYL-4-BROMOIMIDAZOLE

1-Benzyl-4-bromo-1H-imidazole (BBI) is a heterocycle that can be prepared by the reaction of benzaldehyde with nitrile and palladium catalyst. It reacts with halides to form alkyl bromides, thiophene, and other substituted derivatives. The reactions are characterized by their high yields and functional groups that can be used for further synthesis. BBI is reactive when exposed to air or water. This compound has heteroatoms on the ring, which are capable of forming multiple bonds with other atoms on the ring. BBI also has substituents such as alkene, allyl, and alkyne groups that allow it to react readily with other molecules.
