8-BROMO-2-CHLOROQUINOLINE

8-Bromo-2-chloroquinoline (CAS: 163485-86-7) is a dual-halogenated quinoline derivative widely used as a building block in pharmaceutical and materials chemistry. Featuring both a bromine atom at the 8-position and a chlorine atom at the 2-position, it offers high versatility in cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Sonogashira, Buchwald-Hartwig), allowing chemists to selectively modify one or both positions. This compound is a valuable intermediate for synthesizing complex quinoline-based molecules, especially those with potential antibacterial, anticancer, or antimalarial activities. It is also employed in the development of advanced functional materials, including ligands for metal complexes and organic semiconductors with tunable electronic or photophysical properties.
