5-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)-2-bromopyrimidine

Description

5-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)-2-bromopyrimidine is a pyrimidine-based building block. Ring heteroatoms redistribute electron density, dipole and hydrogen-bonding capacity relative to an all-carbon analogue – which is the reason a heterocyclic core gets chosen where a carbocycle would be geometrically equivalent but electronically wrong.

Key data

• Catalogue code: KC1017
• Molecular formula: C17H13BrN2O
• Molecular weight: 341.2 g/mol
• Category: Heterocycles

What the substitution pattern does

Two ring nitrogens give pyrimidine a substantial in-plane dipole and remove electron density from the ring. Both effects are exploited deliberately: the dipole couples to applied fields, and the electron deficiency activates the ring toward nucleophilic substitution at the 2- and 4-positions.

Typical applications

• materials chemistry requiring a polar, planar ring system
• heterocyclic cores for mesogens with tailored dipole and polarisability
• ligand and pharmacophore construction in discovery chemistry
• fluorescent probes and laser dyes where the coumarin motif applies
• cross-coupling substrates carrying a pre-installed heteroatom
