5-bromoisoquinolin-8-ol; CAS No.: 1892644-18-6; 5-bromoisoquinolin-8-ol. PROPERTIES: 5-bromoisoquinolin-8-ol appears as a pale yellow solid with molecular formula C9H5BrNO. It has a melting point between 110-115 C and shows solubility in polar organic solvents while being practically insoluble in water. Proper storage involves maintaining under nitrogen atmosphere at 5-15 C to prevent oxidative degradation. Safety considerations include avoiding contact with strong acids and using protective equipment as this compound may cause serious eye damage. APPLICATIONS: This brominated isoquinoline alcohol is employed in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors. The hydroxyl group provides critical interactions with the enzyme's active site as described in cancer research literature. In materials science, 5-bromoisoquinolin-8-ol derivatives have found application in creating electron-transport materials for organic photovoltaics. According to materials chemistry journals, the electron-withdrawing bromine group improves charge transport properties while the isoquinoline scaffold provides structural rigidity.
