Description and Uses
Bromonitromethane has received considerable attention as a one-carbon synthon for the synthesis of a variety of important organic intermediates.
Bromonitromethane is a key starting material for the preparation of the broad-spectrum antibiotic trovafloxacin, which contains the interesting 3-azabicyclo[ 3.1.0]hexane ring system.
it was used in the synthesis of 2-nitrobenzofuran and 2-nitro-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-ols, nitrobenzothio-phenes, and nitrothiazoles, polyfunctionalized nitrocyclopropanes. It has also been utilized in the synthesis of 1-bromo-1-nitroalkan-2-ols and aryl nitromethanes. In addition, it could be used as a bromine donor.
