Application
3,5-Dibromobenzaldehyde serves as an essential building block in the synthesis of various biologically active compounds, including antibacterials. This compound is particularly valuable for its application in the development of Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) luminogens, providing a novel approach that contrasts traditional methods reliant on AIE active cores. When converted into derivatives such as S1, S2, and S3, 3,5-Dibromobenzaldehyde exhibits enhanced quantum efficiency in solid film states compared to solution states, and these emissions can be adjusted by altering substituents on the DBB rings. This white or beige solid, with a melting point of 84-88°C and an estimated boiling point of 287.2±20.0°C, is insoluble in water and characterized by a density of 1.977±0.06 g/cm³. It plays a significant role in various chemical reactions and syntheses, including Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, the formation of blue fluorescent dye derivatives for organic light-emitting diodes, Sharpless kinetic resolution, synthesis of podophyllotoxin mimetic pyridopyrazoles for anticancer agents, allylic alkylation, and the creation of C2-symmetric biphosphine ligand I.
