ethyl 5-bromothiophene-2-carboxylate; CAS No.: 5751-83-7; ethyl 5-bromothiophene-2-carboxylate. PROPERTIES: Ethyl 5-bromothiophene-2-carboxylate is a crystalline powder with a molecular weight of approximately 232.0 g/mol. It has a melting point between 45-50 C. The compound is moderately soluble in common organic solvents like ethyl acetate and methanol but is practically insoluble in water. The bromine substituent provides a site for cross-coupling reactions. For proper storage, keep in a tightly sealed container at room temperature away from heat and moisture. Safety: This compound may cause serious eye irritation. In case of contact with eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes and remove contact lenses if present. Use explosion-proof ventilation and lighting if handling large quantities. APPLICATIONS: In materials science, ethyl 5-bromothiophene-2-carboxylate serves as a monomer for creating conjugated polymers. The bromine substituent allows for cross-coupling reactions to form polythiophene backbones. In organic synthesis, it is used as a building block for creating bioactive molecules. The ester group can be hydrolyzed to the corresponding carboxylic acid, which forms ester linkages with biological targets. In electronic materials, derivatives of this compound are explored for creating organic photovoltaic materials. The combination of the thiophene ring and the ester group creates materials with specific light absorption properties. These applications are supported by research in polymer chemistry journals and electronic materials publications.
