Usage

Description

4-Bromoveratrole is a colorless to yellow liquid metabolite of bromobenzene, featuring a catechol moiety in its substructure. This organic compound is known for its unique chemical properties and versatile applications across different industries.

Uses

Used in Chemical Synthesis:
4-Bromoveratrole is used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds, particularly the isoquinoline alkaloid (-)-mesembrine. Its unique structure allows for its involvement in multiple chemical reactions, making it a valuable component in the production of specific alkaloids.
Used in Energy Storage:
In the energy storage industry, 4-Bromoveratrole serves as a redox shuttle additive, playing a crucial role in lithium batteries. It helps consume excess current during overcharging, thereby enhancing the safety and performance of these batteries.
Used in Pharmaceutical Research:
Due to its catechol moiety, 4-Bromoveratrole may also find applications in pharmaceutical research, potentially contributing to the development of new drugs or therapies that target specific biological pathways involving catechol-containing molecules.

Biological Functions

4-Bromoveratrole has been shown that this molecule binds to the receptor for acetylcholine, which is found in the central nervous system and on muscles. The binding of 4-bromoveratrole to this receptor leads to the release of chloride ions from the cell, which increases the activity of acetylcholine. The detection sensitivity of 4-bromoveratrole in solution was determined by adding malonic acid or hydrochloric acid, which led to an increase in fluorescence intensity. This molecule also has fatty acid and hydroxyl groups that have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties.

Anti-inflammatory, ulcerogenic and platelet activation evaluation of novel 1,4-diaryl-1,2,3-triazole neolignan-celecoxib hybrids

This study reports the synthesis of novel neolignans-celecoxib hybrids and the evaluation of their biological activity. Analogs 8–13 (L13-L18) exhibited anti-inflammatory activity, inhibited glycoprotein expression (P-selectin) related to platelet activation, and were considered non– ulcerogenic in the animal model, even with the administration of 10 times higher than the dose used in reference therapy. In silico drug-likeness showed that the analogs are compliant with Lipinski's rule of five. A molecular docking study showed that the hybrids 8–13 (L13-L18) fitted similarly with celecoxib in the COX-2 active site. According to this data, it is possible to infer that extra hydrophobic interactions and the hydrogen interactions with the triazole core may improve the selectivity towards the COX-2 active site. Furthermore, the molecular docking study with P-selectin showed the binding affinity of the analogs in the active site, performing important interactions with amino acid residues such as Tyr 48. Whereas the P-selectin is a promising target to the design of new anti-inflammatory drugs with antithrombotic properties, a distinct butterfly-like structure of 1,4-diaryl-1,2,3-triazole neolignan-celecoxib hybrids synthesized in this work may be a safer alternative to the traditional COX-2 inhibitors.

Visible light-induced mono-bromination of arenes with BrCCl3

A highly efficient and regioselective bromination of electron-rich arenes and heteroarenes using commercially available BrCCl3as a “Br” source has been developed. The reaction was performed in air under mild conditions with photocatalyst Ru(bpy)3Cl2·6H2O, avoiding the usage of strong acids and strong oxidants. Mono-brominated products were obtained with medium to excellent yields (up to 94%). This strategy has shown good compatibility and highpara-selectivity, which will facilitate the complicated synthesis.

Direct bromodeboronation of arylboronic acids with CuBr2 in water

An efficient and practical method has been developed for the preparation of aryl bromides via the direct bromodeboronation of arylboronic acids with CuBr2 in water. This strategy provides several advantages, such as being ligand-free, base-free, high yielding, and functional group tolerant.
