Product Description
Potassium (bromomethyl)trifluoroborate is a biochemical compound that could be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
Potassium (bromomethyl)trifluoroborate (CAS 888711-44-2) is a white, solid potassium organotrifluoroborate salt that serves as a key precursor for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reagents. Its molecular formula is CH2BBrF3K with a molecular weight of 200.84 g/mol. The compound has a melting point of approximately 220°C (decomposition) and a purity of >98.0%. This compound serves as a biochemical reagent and organic/chemical intermediate for biomedical research. It is utilized as a biomaterial for life science research and as a sulfonylation reagent for organic synthesis and drug discovery. Organotrifluoroborates are valuable in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions and SN2 reactions.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Potassium (bromomethyl)trifluoroborate does not have a defined primary pharmacological target as it is primarily a chemical reagent and synthetic intermediate. In medicinal chemistry, the compound serves as a versatile building block for introducing bromomethyl groups into drug candidates through cross-coupling reactions. The trifluoroborate functionality is a stable and widely used precursor for Suzuki-Miyaura couplings, enabling the construction of carbon-carbon bonds under mild conditions. The bromomethyl group provides a handle for further functionalization through nucleophilic substitution reactions. The compound's utility in synthesizing functionalized ethyltrifluoroborates and other complex molecules makes it valuable in drug discovery and materials science.
ln Vitro
In vitro activity of Potassium (bromomethyl)trifluoroborate as a standalone compound is not typically evaluated, as its primary role is as a synthetic intermediate. The compound's biological activity would be assessed through the final molecules synthesized from this building block. In biochemical research, the compound may be used as a reagent for modifying biomolecules or as a reference compound. Its utility in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions suggests that it enables the synthesis of diverse compound libraries for drug discovery. The compound may also be used in the synthesis of radiolabeled compounds for imaging applications.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for Potassium (bromomethyl)trifluoroborate are not available, as the compound is not intended for direct administration as a therapeutic agent. It is classified as a biochemical reagent and organic synthesis intermediate. Any in vivo effects would be associated with the final products synthesized from this intermediate rather than the compound itself. The compound's role in drug discovery is to enable the synthesis of complex molecular scaffolds that can be evaluated in animal models. Researchers handling this compound should follow appropriate safety protocols for chemical handling in laboratory settings.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme or receptor binding assays for Potassium (bromomethyl)trifluoroborate are not standard, as the compound is a chemical reagent rather than a drug candidate. If evaluated, the compound might be used in assays to study the effects of bromomethyl-containing compounds on biological targets. However, such studies are more commonly performed on the final compounds derived from this building block rather than on the intermediate itself. The compound may serve as a reference or control in certain biochemical experiments, or as a reagent for synthesizing probes for binding studies.
Cell Assay
Cell-based in vitro experiments using Potassium (bromomethyl)trifluoroborate are not typically performed, as the compound is a research chemical and synthetic intermediate. When used in cell biology research, the compound might be incorporated into larger molecules that are then tested on cultured cell lines. Standard cell culture protocols would involve seeding cells in appropriate media at 37°C in a 5% CO₂ atmosphere, treating with test compounds at various concentrations, and assessing cell viability, proliferation, or other endpoints using standard assays. The compound's solvent compatibility and potential cytotoxicity should be considered.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies are not conducted with Potassium (bromomethyl)trifluoroborate itself, as it is a chemical reagent rather than a therapeutic agent. The compound is utilized in the synthesis of drug candidates that may subsequently be evaluated in animal models. Typical in vivo protocols for drug candidates synthesized using this building block would involve administration via oral gavage, intravenous injection, or intraperitoneal injection to rodents at various dose levels. Pharmacodynamic endpoints, pharmacokinetic sampling, and toxicological assessments would be performed according to the specific research objectives. All animal studies must be conducted in accordance with institutional guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Potassium (bromomethyl)trifluoroborate have not been characterized, as the compound is a chemical reagent for research use. As an organotrifluoroborate salt with molecular weight 200.84 g/mol, the compound is expected to be water-soluble due to the potassium salt functionality. The trifluoroborate group is stable under physiological conditions but can participate in transmetalation reactions with palladium catalysts. The bromomethyl group may be susceptible to nucleophilic displacement. However, these properties are not studied for the compound itself, as it is not developed as a pharmaceutical. For drug discovery applications, the properties of the final compounds would be characterized rather than the intermediate.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Potassium (bromomethyl)trifluoroborate indicate that the compound is classified as Acute Toxicity Category 4 and Serious Eye Damage/Eye Irritation Category 2. Standard safety precautions should be followed, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and lab coats. The compound may cause irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract upon exposure. Inhalation of dust should be avoided, and adequate ventilation should be ensured. In case of contact, affected areas should be rinsed with plenty of water. The compound should be stored in a refrigerator at low temperature, away from strong oxidizing agents. Comprehensive toxicological studies have not been reported beyond these hazard classifications.
Additional Infomation
Potassium (bromomethyl)trifluoroborate is a chemical research tool and synthetic intermediate rather than an approved pharmaceutical drug. Its primary applications are in organic synthesis and drug discovery, where it serves as a key precursor for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reagents. The compound is involved in the synthesis of functionalized ethyltrifluoroborates and SN2 reactions. Organotrifluoroborates are valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing carbon-carbon bonds under mild conditions, enabling the synthesis of diverse compound libraries. No clinical trials or regulatory approvals have been documented for this compound as a therapeutic agent. The compound is commercially available as a research-grade chemical with purity >98.0%, supplied for laboratory synthesis and biomedical research.
