1-(4,6-dibromo-7-hydroxybenzofuran-2-yl)ethan-1-one; CAS No.: 859708-09-1;1-(4,6-dibromo-7-hydroxybenzofuran-2-yl)ethan-1-one. PROPERTIES: 1-(4,6-dibromo-7-hydroxybenzofuran-2-yl)ethan-1-one is a halogenated benzofuran derivative with a molecular weight of 337.01 g/mol. This off-white crystalline solid has a melting point between 155-158 C. The molecule features a benzofuran ring substituted with bromo groups at positions 4 and 6, a hydroxyl group at position 7, and an acetyl group at position 2. It demonstrates limited solubility in common organic solvents such as ethyl acetate and methanol but is sparingly soluble in water. Proper storage involves keeping in tightly sealed containers at room temperature, protected from light and moisture. Safety considerations include the bromine substituents' potential to release toxic fumes when heated and the hydroxyl group's potential to form hydrogen bonds. Proper protective equipment should be utilized during handling. APPLICATIONS: This compound primarily serves as a building block in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, where the dibrominated benzofuran structure provides essential binding affinity to target enzymes. In medicinal chemistry, it has been employed in developing antimicrobial agents targeting bacterial and fungal pathogens and has shown utility in creating herbicides with selective activity against broadleaf weeds. The benzofuran-acetyl structure has also been explored in materials science for developing fluorescent probes, leveraging the electron-deficient benzofuran core to tune optical properties. These applications are documented in publications from the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry and Dyes and Pigments.
