5,6-dibromothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one; CAS No.: 1239460-82-2;5,6-dibromothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one. PROPERTIES: 5,6-dibromothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one is a halogenated heterocycle with a molecular weight of 351.01 g/mol. This yellow crystalline solid has a melting point above 250 C (decomposition). The molecule features a thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine ring system with bromo substituents at positions 5 and 6 and an oxo group at position 4 (in the 3H tautomer). It demonstrates limited solubility in common organic solvents such as dimethylformamide and DMSO but is practically insoluble in water. Proper storage requires 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 oxo group's moderate toxicity. Proper protective measures should be taken during handling. APPLICATIONS: This compound primarily serves as a synthetic intermediate in the production of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, where the dibrominated heterocycle provides versatile sites for cross-coupling reactions. In medicinal chemistry, it has been employed in developing antifungal agents targeting resistant fungal strains and has shown utility in creating kinase inhibitors for cancer therapy. The thienopyrimidinone structure has also been explored in materials science for developing organic semiconductors, leveraging the electron-deficient heterocycle to enhance charge transport properties. These applications are supported by research published in the Journal of Organic Chemistry and Advanced Materials.
