Usage

Description

Methyl 4-(bromomethyl)benzoate is an ester derivative of a bromoalkylated benzoic acid, characterized by its white to off-white crystalline powder appearance. It is a lachrymator and serves as an important drug intermediate, with its ester group slightly twisted out of the plane of the central aromatic ring.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Methyl 4-(bromomethyl)benzoate is used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of potential anti-HIV agents, contributing to the development of treatments for HIV/AIDS. Its role in this application is due to its unique chemical structure, which allows for further chemical modifications to create effective anti-HIV compounds.
Additionally, Methyl 4-(bromomethyl)benzoate is utilized as a catalyst in the rearrangement of benzylthiothiazoline derivatives, which are crucial in the preparation of aldose reductase inhibitors. Aldose reductase inhibitors are important in the management of diabetic complications, such as neuropathy and retinopathy, making this application significant in the field of diabetes treatment.

Photochemical Radical C–H Halogenation of Benzyl N-Methyliminodiacetyl (MIDA) Boronates: Synthesis of α-Functionalized Alkyl Boronates

α-Haloboronates are useful organic synthons that can be converted to a diverse array of α-substituted alkyl borons. Methods to α-haloboronates are limiting and often suffer from harsh reaction conditions. Reported herein is a photochemical radical C-H halogenation of benzyl N-methyliminodiacetyl (MIDA) boronates. Fluorination, chlorination, and bromination reactions were effective by using this protocol. Upon reaction with different nucleophiles, the C?Br bond in the brominated product could be readily transformed to a series of C?C, C?O, C?N, C?S, C?P, and C?I bonds, some of which are difficult to forge with α-halo sp2-B boronate esters. An activation effect of B(MIDA) moiety was found.
