1-Bromo-2-methoxy-naphthalene is a useful synthetic intermediate. It is used as a reagent to synthesize a catalyst for highly enantioselective aziridination of styrene derivatives. It can also be used to prepare biaryls or biheterocycles by palladium-catalyzed Ullmann coupling.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
