2-bromocinnamaldehyde CAS 138555-58-5

1. Acts 2-bromocinnamaldehyde CAS 138555-58-5 as a key intermediate for synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds, especially antibacterial and antifungal drug derivatives with enhanced bioactivity.

2. Serves 2-bromocinnamaldehyde as a building block for preparing functional aromatic polymers and agrochemicals with pest and fungal control properties.

3. Functions as a reagent in organic synthesis for researching the modification of cinnamaldehyde derivatives and their reaction mechanisms.

Store 2-bromocinnamaldehyde (CAS 5442-49-1, yellow crystalline powder, pungent aromatic odor, flash point ~155°C, combustible) in sealed amber glass containers at 10–25°C in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Isolate from strong oxidants, acids, bases and reducing agents to avoid decomposition. Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles and a dust mask; avoid dust inhalation, skin/eye contact and ingestion to prevent irritation and bromide-related risks. Reseal tightly post-use; dispose of waste per local chemical regulations.

2-Bromocinnamaldehyde is a pharmaceutical intermediate and organic synthesis reagent, not for direct pure-form human ingestion; undiluted intake may cause severe gastrointestinal irritation and mucosal damage. In regulated applications, 2-bromocinnamaldehyde CAS 138555-58-5 enables the development of high-efficiency antimicrobial drugs, supports the production of eco-friendly agrochemicals, and facilitates research on brominated aromatic aldehyde chemistry.
