| 4-Bromomethylbenzoic acid Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | white to beige crystalline powder | | Uses | 4-(Bromomethyl)benzoic Acid is an intermediate in the synthesis of Eprosartan (E590100), a prototype of the imidazoleacrylic acid angiotensin II receptor antagonists used as an antihypertensive agent. | | Uses | 4-(Bromomethyl)benzoic acid acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of eprosartan, which is used as an antihypertensive agent. Further, it is used in the preparation of 5,10,15,20-tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (temoporfin), which is a second generation photosensitizer. In addition to this, it is used in the preparation of 4-(5-arylidene-2,4-dioxothiazolidin-3-yl) methylbenzoic acids. | | Uses | 4-(Bromomethyl)benzoic acid was used in the chemical modification of 5,10,15,20-tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (temoporfin), second generation photosensitizer. It was also used in the synthesis of 4-(5-arylidene-2,4-dioxothiazolidin-3-yl) methylbenzoic acids. | | Purification Methods | Crystallise the acid from pKEst Me2CO. [Beilstein 9 IV 1745.] |
