Yellow crystalline powder
2-Amino-3,5-dibromobenzaldehyde may be employed in the preparation of tetradentate Schiff base ligands, via condensation with aliphatic diamines. These ligands forms nickel (II) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes.
2-Amino-3,5-dibromobenzaldehyde is a reagent used in the preparation of Ambroxol and Bromhexine (B678600) metabolites.
2-Amino-3,5-dibromobenzaldehyde has been identified as one of the oxidation product of bromhexine by controlled potential electrolysis followed by HPLC-UV and GC-MS. It participates in the Friedl?nder condensation of C-β?glycosylic ketones to form 2-substituted quinoline derivatives.
