4-Amino-3,5-dichloro-α-bromoacetophenone
1. Basic Information
Name: 4-Amino-3,5-dichloro-α-bromoacetophenone
Alias: 1-(4-Amino-3,5-dichlorophenyl)-2-bromoethan-1-one
CAS No.: 37148-47-3
Molecular Formula: C?H?BrCl?NO
Molecular Weight: 282.95
Category: Halogenated aromatic ketone fine chemical intermediate, pesticide & veterinary drug synthetic building block, cross-coupling reaction substrate
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Light yellow to beige crystalline powder
- Odor: Pungent halogen ketone irritating odor
- Solubility: Soluble in DCM, chloroform, THF, DMF, hot ethanol, toluene; slightly soluble in cold methanol; insoluble in water, hexane, petroleum ether
- Melting Point: 122–126 ℃
- Density (predicted): 1.68 g/cm3
- Hygroscopy: Non-hygroscopic under normal humidity
- Aqueous property: Neutral solid, stable in neutral water at room temperature; slow hydrolysis under strong acid/alkali heating
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Benzene ring with 4-amino, 3,5-dichloro substituents, α-bromo methyl ketone side chain; contains active benzyl bromide, aromatic amine, aryl dichloride, carbonyl multiple functional groups
- α-Bromo nucleophilic substitution: Active benzylic bromine undergoes SN2 reaction with amines, thiols, alcohols to construct heterocyclic skeletons for bactericides and antiparasitic drugs
- Aromatic amine reactivity: Amino group can be diazotized, acylated, alkylated to introduce various side chains
- Carbonyl derivatization: Ketone group undergoes reduction, condensation, cyclization to build five/six-membered nitrogen heterocycles
- Debromination & dechlorination: Strong reducing agents cause halogen removal; high temperature triggers partial dehalogenation and darkening
- Photostability: Strongly light-sensitive; UV irradiation decomposes C-Br bond, releases bromine free radicals, powder turns dark brown
- Compatibility: Compatible with anhydrous aprotic solvents; incompatible with strong reducing agents, concentrated alkali, strong oxidants, active metals
3. Main Application Fields

Safety Warning
Highly irritating toxic halogenated ketone powder. Dust severely irritates eyes, nasal cavity, throat and respiratory tract; skin contact causes corrosive redness, blistering; inhalation of high concentration dust leads to cough, chest tightness. Contact with strong alkali releases irritating bromide fumes. All operations must be carried out in fully ventilated fume hood with gas-proof respirator, UV-blocking splash-proof goggles and thick chemical-resistant nitrile gloves. Strictly avoid light exposure, mixing with reducing agents and strong alkali. Waste liquid treated with sodium thiosulfate reduction + neutralization before discharge; solid waste classified as halogen-containing toxic organic hazardous waste, disposed by qualified professional institutions.
