8-Bromonaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde is a reactive intermediate in the synthesis of azepines. The compound has been shown to undergo reversible hydride transfer reactions with iodides and benzylic alcohols. It can be prepared by the reaction of 1,2-dibromoethane with acetophenone in the presence of sodium hydroxide. 8-Bromonaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde is also a useful synthon for the synthesis of azepines and active methylenes. 8-Bromonaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde reacts with 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonyl chloride to form 4-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)azepine.
