2-Bromo-5-thiazolecarboxylic acid

China [CN]

Application Areas

The core application is as an organic synthesis intermediate, particularly valuable in the pharmaceutical and pesticide fields:

Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used to prepare drug molecules containing a thiazole ring structure, such as precursors for antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anti-tumor drugs. For example, the carboxyl group can react with amines to form an amide bond, and the bromine atom can serve as a leaving group to introduce a targeting functional group, optimizing the drug's activity and metabolic properties.

Pesticide Synthesis: Used in the development of thiazole herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides, leveraging the biological activity of the thiazole ring and the effects of substituent modification to enhance the selectivity and efficacy of pesticides against target organisms.

Functional Materials: Used as a monomer or ligand in the synthesis of coordination polymers and organic optoelectronic materials, the coordination ability of the carboxyl group or the electronic effects of the thiazole ring can be used to modulate material properties.
