1-(3-bromophenyl)-3,3-dimethoxycyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid CAS:2135331-42-7

This versatile building block enables efficient synthesis of drug-like molecules and functional materials. Derivatizations at the carboxylic acid yield esters, acids, and amines for structure activity investigations. Meanwhile, the methoxy groups support oxidative transformations furnishing diverse cyclobutane derivatives. Additionally, cross-coupling at the bromine introduces heterogeneity. These modifications provide varied scaffolds for pharmacological studies. This molecule is also suitable as a monomer for producing cyclobutane-containing specialty polymers with tailored properties. Therefore, owing to its varied functional handles, this synthon facilitates synthesis of both pharmaceuticals and advanced materials.
