4-Bromo-3-methylbenzonitrile

Chemical Properties

white to light yellow crystal powder

Uses

4-Bromo-3-methylbenzonitrile may be used to synthesize 2,4,6-tris(4-bromo-3-methyl-phenylene)-1,3,5-triazine and 4-fluoro-3-methylbenzonitrile.

Uses

4-bromo-3-methylbenzenecarbonitrile is a nitrile compound for proteomics research & a pharmaceutical intermediate.

Definition

4-Bromo-3-methylbenzonitrile (4B3MBN) is almost planar and the derivatives are used like midways in the production of phthalocyanine dyes. The surrogated phthalocyanine dyes are used for DSSC, photo redox responses and photodynamic cancer therapy[1].
