Chemical Properties

Chemical Name:​​ 2-Bromo-1-(3-chlorophenyl)propan-1-one

​IUPAC Name:​​ 2-Bromo-1-(3-chlorophenyl)propan-1-one

CAS Registry Number:​​ 34911-51-8

​Molecular Formula:​​ C₉H₈BrClO

Molecular Weight:​​ 247.52 g/mol

​Chemical Structure:​​ It consists of a propiophenone backbone where the carbonyl group at the 1-position is attached to a 3-chlorophenyl ring, and the alpha-carbon (2-position) is substituted with a bromine atom. This α-halo ketone structure is key to its reactivity.

​Appearance:​​ Typically a white to off-white or light yellow crystalline solid or powder.

Melting Point:​​ ~45-48 °C (may vary based on purity).

​Solubility:​​ Soluble in common organic solvents such as dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, acetone, and dimethylformamide (DMF). Practically insoluble in water.

​Stability:​​ ​Highly sensitive. As an α-halo ketone, it is prone to degradation via hydrolysis, dehydrohalogenation, and polymerization, especially when exposed to heat, light, moisture, or bases. Requires stringent storage conditions.

​Reactivity:​​ The bromine at the alpha position is an excellent leaving group, making it highly electrophilic. It readily undergoes nucleophilic substitution reactions (e.g., with amines to form aminoketones) and is a common precursor in heterocyclic synthesis (e.g., for furans, pyrroles).

 

Biological Activities​

2-Bromo-3'-chloropropiophenone ​is not an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API)​. Its biological significance is solely as a ​synthetic precursor.

Intermediate Activity:​​ It is designed to be chemically transformed. Its primary "activity" is to introduce a 2-amino-1-(3-chlorophenyl)propan-1-one (a chloro-substituted cathinone) scaffold into molecules through nucleophilic displacement of the bromine.

​Derivative Potential:​​ Compounds derived from this intermediate may have various researched pharmacological profiles. The parent molecule itself has no established therapeutic use.

 

Biosynthesis​

This compound is not produced via biological pathways. It is synthesized through ​classical organic synthesis​ on a laboratory or industrial scale.

Common Route:​​ The most straightforward synthesis involves the ​α-bromination of 3'-chloropropiophenone. This is typically achieved using a brominating agent (e.g., bromine (Br₂) or N-bromosuccinimide (NBS)) in an inert solvent like dichloromethane or carbon tetrachloride, often under mild conditions or with catalytic initiation.

​Precursor:​​ 3'-Chloropropiophenone itself is usually synthesized via Friedel-Crafts acylation of chlorobenzene.

 

Applications​

  • #
    Pharmaceutical Research & Development
    Its primary application is as a ​key chemical intermediate​ in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules for drug discovery programs. It is particularly valuable for building libraries of compounds for biological screening.
  • #
    ​Chemical Research
    Used in methodological studies and as a model substrate in reactions involving α-halo ketones, such as nucleophilic substitutions, cyclizations, and the synthesis of natural product analogs.
     
  • #
    Controlled Substance Analogue Synthesis
    CRITICAL NOTE:​​ Due to its structural relationship to controlled substances (e.g., as a precursor to substituted cathinones), its sale and use are ​highly regulated​ in most countries. Legitimate applications are strictly confined to controlled research settings within licensed institutions.
     

 

FAQs
