Wang, Fei; Kon, Allan B.; Rauh, R. David published an article in Macromolecules. The title of the article was 《Synthesis of a Terminally Functionalized Bromothiophene Polyphenylene Dendrimer by a Divergent Method》.Formula: C24H12Br6 The author mentioned the following in the article:
A polyphenylene dendrimer terminally functionalized with bromothiophene was prepared by a stepwise divergent approach using the palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of aryl-zinc chloride and aryl bromide. The reaction yields were high, and the purification procedure for products were simple. This synthetic method can be extended further to the higher generations of dendrimer synthesis. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 3,3”,5,5”-Tetrabromo-5′-(3,5-dibromophenyl)-1,1′:3′,1”-terphenyl(cas: 29102-67-8Formula: C24H12Br6)
3,3”,5,5”-Tetrabromo-5′-(3,5-dibromophenyl)-1,1′:3′,1”-terphenyl(cas: 29102-67-8) belongs to organobromine compounds.Most of the natural organobromine compounds are produced by marine organisms , and several brominated metabolites with antibacterial , antitumor , antiviral , and antifungal activity have been isolated from seaweed, sponges, corals, molluscs, and others. Formula: C24H12Br6 Moreover, several studies demonstrate that the average proportion of bromine in drugs is significantly higher than that in natural products.
