Description
2,3-Dibromothiophene (CAS No. 3140-93-0) is a high-purity brominated thiophene derivative with the molecular formula C4H2Br2S. This organosulfur compound is a versatile building block in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials. Its dibrominated structure enables selective cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Stille couplings, making it invaluable for constructing complex heterocyclic frameworks. The product is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor, rigorously tested for purity (typically ≥95% by GC) and stored under inert conditions to ensure stability. Ideal for researchers in medicinal chemistry, materials science, and catalysis, 2,3-Dibromothiophene is packaged in amber glass vials with tamper-evident seals to guarantee integrity.
