CAS 6287-82-7: 2,3-dibromo-1-benzothiophene

2,3-Dibromobenzo[b]thiophene

2,3-Dibromobenzothiophene is a brominated benzene derivative. It is used as a starting material for the synthesis of other brominated compounds and as a precursor to polymers. It is also used in the production of optical devices and in the detection of chlorine in environmental monitoring. The hydrocarbon group on this compound allows it to be cross-coupled with various organic molecules using the Suzuki coupling reaction. This process occurs at room temperature with no need for harsh reagents or solvents, making it an environmentally friendly method for producing new compounds. 2,3-Dibromobenzothiophene is a highly selective molecule that reacts with anilines to produce electroluminescent devices that are bright, long-lasting, and resistant to oxidation. These properties make it ideal for use in diodes and displays.
