A fluorinated heterocyclic building block

Used as a synthesis intermediate for APIs, DSSCs and sensors


Bearing both bromo- and fluoro-substituents, 4-bromo-8-fluoroquinoline (CAS number 927800-38-2) is another useful intermediate for the preparation of active quinoline elements in drug discovery. Fluoroquinolines are typically used as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) such as antibiotics. Additionally, 8-fluoroquinoline derivatives have also proven effective against insects, nematodes, and mites as agricultural chemicals. 4-Bromo-8-fluoroquinoline has multiple functional groups, which is an ideal candidate in substrate scopes for synthetic methodology studies.

This brominated building block can also be used as an end-capping material to extend the chromophore size of other chemicals through Pd-catalysed cross-coupling reactions. For example, it can enhance the fluorescent signal of cyclobarbital molecularly imprinted polymer for electrochemical sensing.
