1-(3-bromophenyl)-3,3-dimethoxycyclobutane-1-carbonitrile CAS:1494527-01-3

As a versatile building block, this molecule enables efficient synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and functional materials. Reactions at the nitrile allow for derivatization to target amides, acids, and amines. Modifications of the cyclobutane ring systematically construct novel analog libraries. The aromatic bromine also facilitates functionalization. These transformations rapidly produce focused sets for biological evaluation and materials testing. Reactions benefit from the electron-donating methoxy groups. It can also serve as a monomer in polymer synthesis. Moreover, selective ring-opening conversions may yield agrochemical leads. Therefore, through strategic manipulation of its multiple reactive sites, this synthon supports versatile generation of drugs, agrochemicals, and advanced materials.
