General description

4-Bromo-1,2-diaminobenzene can be obtained from 1,2-diaminobenzene via acetylation followed by bromination and alkaline hydrolysis.

4-Bromo-1,2-diaminobenzene is used as a precursor in the production of tetra-dentate unsymmetrical Schiff base.

Application

4-Bromo-1,2-diaminobenzene can be used as a precursor for preparing fluorescent dipolar quinoxaline derivatives, which can find applications as potential emissive and electron-transport materials. It can also be used in the synthesis of 6-bromo-2-methylbenzimidazole.

New approaches to the synthesis of 4,7-dichloro-1,10-phenanthrolines and their corresponding 9H-carbazol-9-yl-, 10H-phenothiazin-10-yl- and pyrrolidin-1-yl derivatives were developed. Their properties have been characterized by a combination of several techniques: MS, HRMS, GC-MS, electronic absorption spectroscopy and multinuclear NMR in both solution
