Product Description
1,3-Dibromo-2,2-dimethoxypropane is a biochemical compound that may be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
1,3-Dibromo-2,2-dimethoxypropane (CAS#: 22094-18-4) is an organohalogen and oxygen-containing organic compound with the molecular formula C5H10Br2O2 and a molecular weight of 261.94 g/mol. It features two bromine atoms and two methoxy groups, providing dual bromine reactivity that enables efficient alkylation and cyclization reactions. The compound serves as a fundamental spacer and linker in the construction of complex molecules, enabling the introduction of cross-links and the formation of cyclic structures critical in medicinal chemistry and materials science. It is widely used as a bromine donor in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical intermediates. Key applications include use as a bromination agent for heterocyclic compounds such as imidazoles and thiophenes, and as a cross-linking agent for specialty polymers. The compound has high reactivity under controlled conditions, making it ideal for continuous flow processes. It is also used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, including antiviral and antitumor agents. The compound appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a melting point of 65-68°C.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
1,3-Dibromo-2,2-dimethoxypropane does not have a specific biological target, as it functions primarily as a synthetic intermediate and cross-linking agent rather than a direct pharmacological agent. Its mechanism of action in chemical synthesis involves alkylation of nucleophiles such as amines and thiols via its bromine termini. The compound's dual bromine atoms allow for the formation of cyclic structures through intramolecular alkylation or the introduction of cross-links between molecular chains. The acetal group (dimethoxy) can be hydrolyzed to reveal a carbonyl group for further functionalization, adding to the compound's versatility as a synthetic building block. In medicinal chemistry, the compound is used to construct complex molecular architectures that may have biological activity, but the parent compound itself is not a pharmacological agent.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 1,3-dibromo-2,2-dimethoxypropane is used as a cross-linking agent for forming cyclic compounds and as a precursor for aza-four-membered rings. It is also used in polypeptide cyclization reactions. The compound serves as a bromination agent for heterocyclic compounds such as imidazoles and thiophenes. It is used as a cross-linking agent for specialty polymers. In pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis, it is used in the production of antiviral and antitumor agents. The compound's reactivity allows for efficient alkylation and cyclization reactions under controlled conditions. Its use in continuous flow processes highlights its industrial applicability. In organic synthesis, it serves as a versatile building block for constructing complex molecular architectures.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies are not performed with 1,3-dibromo-2,2-dimethoxypropane, as it is a synthetic reagent rather than a pharmacological agent. The compound is highly reactive and is not intended for administration to living organisms. Its derivatives, such as antiviral and antitumor agents synthesized using this compound, may be evaluated in animal models for therapeutic efficacy. However, the parent compound itself is not used in in vivo studies due to its reactivity and potential toxicity as an alkylating agent.
Enzyme Assay
Cell-free assays involving 1,3-dibromo-2,2-dimethoxypropane are focused on its use as a chemical reagent in organic synthesis. Standard protocols involve alkylation reactions: the compound is mixed with a nucleophile such as an amine or thiol in an appropriate solvent, and the reaction progress is monitored by TLC or HPLC. The acetal group can be hydrolyzed under acidic conditions to reveal a carbonyl group for further functionalization. For cross-linking applications, the compound is reacted with polymers or other substrates to introduce cross-links between molecular chains. The compound's reactivity can be studied using various analytical techniques, including NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Its use in continuous flow processes requires careful control of reaction conditions to achieve optimal yields.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays are not performed with 1,3-dibromo-2,2-dimethoxypropane due to its reactivity as an alkylating agent. The compound is not used as a test article in cell-based experiments because of its potential to cause non-specific alkylation of cellular components. Instead, the compound is used in the synthesis of drug candidates that are subsequently tested in cellular assays. For example, antiviral and antitumor agents synthesized using this compound may be evaluated in cell-based systems for their biological activity. However, the parent compound itself is not used in cellular assays.
Animal Protocol
Animal studies are not conducted with 1,3-dibromo-2,2-dimethoxypropane. The compound is a synthetic reagent and is not intended for administration to animals. Its derivatives, such as antiviral and antitumor agents, may be evaluated in animal models for therapeutic efficacy, but the parent compound itself is not used in animal studies. Toxicity and pharmacological profiles for the parent compound are extrapolated from related halogenated compounds, as specific studies on the parent compound are not documented.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for 1,3-dibromo-2,2-dimethoxypropane are not available. As a small lipophilic molecule with a molecular weight of 261.94 g/mol and an estimated LogP of approximately 2.5, it may have moderate membrane permeability, but it is not intended for systemic exposure. The compound is highly reactive and would likely be rapidly metabolized or hydrolyzed in biological systems. However, comprehensive pharmacokinetic studies have not been performed, as the compound is not intended for therapeutic use. For research purposes, the compound is typically handled as a neat chemical and not administered to living organisms for pharmacokinetic profiling.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 1,3-dibromo-2,2-dimethoxypropane indicate potential for skin irritation (H315) and serious eye irritation (H319). The compound should be stored in a cool, dark place under inert gas to maintain stability. Appropriate safety precautions should be taken when handling the compound, including the use of personal protective equipment such as gloves and safety goggles. The compound should be handled in a well-ventilated area, and contact with skin and eyes should be avoided. In case of exposure, affected areas should be rinsed thoroughly with water. The compound is not classified as a carcinogen or mutagen based on available data, but comprehensive toxicological evaluation has not been performed. As with all research chemicals, it should be handled with care and used only in accordance with safety guidelines.
