CAS 2077-19-2: 2-(4-BROMOPHENYL)PROPAN-2-OL

2-(4-Bromophenyl)propan-2-ol is a chemical compound that is used in organic synthesis as an alkylating agent. It has been shown to be a useful reagent for the cross-coupling of chlorides, methyl esters, and 4-bromobenzonitrile with palladium catalysis. Optimization of this coupling reaction has been studied by varying the concentration of the reactants and reagents, which has led to improved yields. The use of 2-(4-bromophenyl)propan-2-ol in organic synthesis has been shown to be effective in the formation of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase profiles. This chemical compound also has vitamin A activity and can be used as an orally active drug.

It is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyestuffs. It is a medicine intermediate.
