4-Bromobenzaldehyde, or p-bromobenzaldehyde, is an organobromine compound with the formula BrC6H4CHO. It is one of three isomers of bromobenzaldehyde.[3] It displays reactivity characteristic of benzaldehyde and an aryl bromide.

Preparation

[edit]

4-Bromobenzaldehyde may be prepared in the laboratory in two steps by oxidation 4-bromotoluene.[4] In the first step, two bromine atoms are added to the methyl group of 4-bromotoluene by free radical bromination to form 4-bromobenzal bromide. In the second step, the dibrominated methyl group is hydrolyzed with calcium carbonate, then steam distilled to collect 4-bromobenzaldehyde.

Reactions

[edit]

Owing to the bromoaryl group, 4-bromobenzaldehyde participates in various cross coupling reactions, such as Suzuki coupling.[5] In a Sonogashira coupling it couples with trimethylsilylacetylene to form 4-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)benzaldehyde, precursor to 4-ethynylbenzaldehyde.[6]
