CAS 94569-84-3: 2-Bromo-5-fluorobenzaldehyde

2-Bromo-5-fluorobenzaldehyde is a chemical compound that has been shown to inhibit the activity of ns3 protease, an enzyme responsible for the cleavage of peptides in HIV. 2-Bromo-5-fluorobenzaldehyde binds to the active site of ns3 protease and prevents it from carrying out its function. This drug has also been shown to bind to the active site of ns5b polymerase and inhibit its activity, which is necessary for viral DNA synthesis. 2-Bromo-5-fluorobenzaldehyde has been used as a fungicide and has shown high potency against Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Aspergillus fumigatus.

2-Bromo-5-fluorobenzaldehyde is used as a precursor for the synthesis of 5-fluoro-3-substituted benzoxaboroles, which is used in material science as molecular receptors, building block in crystal engineering, as steroid conjugates for molecular imprinting , dyes and biosensors of alpha hydroxyl carboxylic acids. It is also used in the synthesis of 5-arylindazolo[3,2-b]quinazolin-7(5H)-one by reacting with 2-amino-N'-arylbenzohydrazide in the presence of Copper(I) bromide by the Ullmann-type reaction.
