7-Bromoisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one; CAS No.: 105694-44-8; 7-Bromoisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one. PROPERTIES: 7-Bromoisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a slight odor. Its molecular formula is C8H4BrO2, corresponding to a molecular weight of approximately 222.02 g/mol. The compound exhibits a melting point in the range of 160-165 C and demonstrates moderate solubility in common organic solvents such as methanol, ethyl acetate, and dichloromethane while being sparingly soluble in water. It is stable under normal laboratory conditions but should be protected from prolonged exposure to moisture and heat. Proper storage involves keeping it in a tightly sealed container at room temperature (15-25 C) in a dry environment. Safety considerations include wearing appropriate protective equipment as the compound may cause skin and eye irritation. Inhalation of dust should be avoided, and in case of accidental exposure, thorough washing with water and medical consultation is advised. APPLICATIONS: 7-Bromoisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one serves as a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the preparation of certain antibacterial and antifungal agents. Its brominated aromatic and lactone groups provide structural features important for receptor binding and bioactivity. In materials science, it functions as a building block for creating liquid crystal polymers and electro-optical materials, where its rigid aromatic structure enables desired mesomorphic properties and optical anisotropy. Additionally, it finds application in the development of fluorescent probes for bioimaging, where its lactone group allows for selective labeling of biological targets. The compound is also employed in the synthesis of agrochemicals, though specific applications in this area are limited to non-agricultural research settings.
