4-Bromo-2-phenylthiazole

4-Bromo-2-phenylthiazole is a reactive arylating agent that has been used in the Suzuki reaction to form biaryl compounds. It is also used in the synthesis of heterocycles and alkene cross-coupling reactions. The 4-bromo group can be replaced by other halides, such as chlorides, bromides, or iodides. The substituents on the phenyl ring can be varied to yield different products. Reactive groups are an important factor in optimizing yields and preventing side reactions. This molecule is a useful starting point for the synthesis of complex molecules with functional groups.
