The Uses of 2-Amino-3,5-dibromobenzaldehyde

2-Amino-3,5-dibromobenzaldehyde serves as a reagent in the synthesis of Ambroxol and metabolites of Bromhexine, which is identified by the code B678600. Beyond its use in the preparation of these pharmaceutical compounds, 2-Amino-3,5-dibromobenzaldehyde also finds application in the creation of tetradentate Schiff base ligands. This is achieved through a condensation reaction with aliphatic diamines. Once formed, these ligands are capable of forming complexes with nickel (II) and oxovanadium(IV), expanding their utility in coordination chemistry and potentially in various catalytic or analytical applications.

General Description

2-Amino-3,5-dibromobenzaldehyde has been identified as one of the oxidation product of bromhexine by controlled potential electrolysis followed by HPLC-UV and GC-MS. It participates in the Friedl?nder condensation of C-β?glycosylic ketones to form 2-substituted quinoline derivatives.
