(Bromoethynyl)benzene is a chemical compound that contains an amine group and a hydroxyl group. It is a nucleophilic reagent that can be used in cross-coupling reactions with sodium trifluoroacetate to produce 2,6-dihydroxypyridine from 2-aminoethanol. Bromoethynylbenzene has been shown to have therapeutic effects in degenerative diseases such as bowel disease. The mechanism of this drug's function is not well understood, but it has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines, which may lead to its therapeutic effects.
