Product Description
1-Bromo-3,5-dimethoxybenzene is a biochemical compound that may be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
1-Bromo-3,5-dimethoxybenzene (3,5-Dimethoxybromobenzene) (CAS 20469-65-2) is a brominated aromatic compound with molecular formula C₈H₉BrO₂. It features a bromine atom at the 1-position and two methoxy groups at the 3- and 5-positions of the benzene ring. This compound is a key building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various biologically active molecules through cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki-Miyaura, Heck, and Buchwald-Hartwig couplings. The electron-donating methoxy groups activate the aromatic ring toward electrophilic substitution and modulate the electronic properties of the molecule. It is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and natural product analogs.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
1-Bromo-3,5-dimethoxybenzene does not have a defined pharmacological target of its own as it is a synthetic intermediate rather than a drug substance. However, it is widely used as a building block for the synthesis of various biologically active compounds. Through palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, this bromide can be converted to a wide range of arylated products with potential activity against various biological targets including kinases, GPCRs, and enzymes. The dimethoxyphenyl motif is found in numerous natural products and pharmaceutical compounds with diverse activities including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.
ln Vitro
Through cross-coupling processes, 1-bromo-3,5-dimethoxybenzene is employed as an intermediary in the manufacture of pharmacological inhibitors.
In vitro, 1-Bromo-3,5-dimethoxybenzene is primarily used as a chemical reagent and synthetic intermediate rather than being evaluated for direct biological activity. It is employed in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds that are subsequently tested in in vitro assays. The compound is soluble in common organic solvents such as DMSO, DMF, dichloromethane, and THF, making it suitable for use in solution-phase organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry workflows. As a brominated arene, it is a common building block for the construction of drug-like molecules in high-throughput screening libraries via cross-coupling chemistry.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for 1-Bromo-3,5-dimethoxybenzene itself are not available, as the compound is not intended for direct in vivo administration. Rather, it is a precursor used in the synthesis of drug candidates that are subsequently evaluated in animal models. The compound's in vivo relevance is therefore indirect, through the biological activities of the final pharmaceutical compounds derived from it.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro enzyme/receptor binding studies, 1-Bromo-3,5-dimethoxybenzene is not typically evaluated as a test compound itself. Instead, it serves as a reagent for the synthesis of test compounds. The compound's properties include a molecular weight of approximately 217 g/mol and moderate lipophilicity (estimated logP ~2.5-3.0) due to the two methoxy groups and the bromine substituent. The bromine atom serves as a versatile handle for cross-coupling reactions to introduce various substituents for structure-activity relationship studies.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell-based experiments, 1-Bromo-3,5-dimethoxybenzene is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of compounds that are tested in cell viability, proliferation, and cytotoxicity assays. The compound itself is not typically evaluated in cell-based assays. Standard cell culture protocols for test compounds synthesized from this intermediate involve dissolving the final product in DMSO and diluting to working concentrations in appropriate cell culture medium. The dimethoxyphenyl moiety may contribute to the overall lipophilicity and cell permeability of the final drug candidates.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies using 1-Bromo-3,5-dimethoxybenzene are conducted on the final drug compounds synthesized from it, not on the intermediate itself. For pharmaceutical candidates derived from this building block, efficacy studies would typically be performed in mouse models of the relevant disease (e.g., tumor xenografts for anticancer agents, inflammation models for anti-inflammatory agents). Standard in vivo protocols involve administration to rodents via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection, with appropriate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic endpoints. Specific protocols for the intermediate compound are not documented.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 1-Bromo-3,5-dimethoxybenzene as a standalone compound are not characterized in the literature, as it is a synthetic intermediate rather than a drug candidate. The compound has a molecular weight of approximately 217 g/mol, which is within the favorable range for oral bioavailability. The two methoxy groups may be subject to metabolic O-demethylation by cytochrome P450 enzymes, which could affect the pharmacokinetic profile of the parent compound. However, empirical pharmacokinetic data are not available for this intermediate compound.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
1-Bromo-3,5-dimethoxybenzene is a research chemical and should be handled with appropriate laboratory safety precautions. As a brominated aromatic compound, it may pose risks of skin and eye irritation. The compound may be harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through skin. Specific LD₅₀ values and acute toxicity classifications are not available in the public literature. Standard safety practices include the use of personal protective equipment (gloves, safety goggles, lab coat), working in a fume hood, and avoiding inhalation and skin contact. The compound is intended for research use only.
Additional Infomation
1-Bromo-3,5-dimethoxybenzene (3,5-Dimethoxybromobenzene) (CAS 20469-65-2) is primarily a research-grade chemical intermediate, not an FDA-approved pharmaceutical drug. Its primary applications are in organic synthesis as a building block for the construction of complex molecules through cross-coupling reactions. The dimethoxy-substituted phenyl ring is a common motif in natural products and pharmaceuticals. The bromine atom provides a versatile handle for introducing diverse substituents via palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions. The compound is used in medicinal chemistry for the synthesis of drug candidates and in academic research for the preparation of novel compounds. No clinical trials or approved indications exist for this compound. It is intended for laboratory research use only.
