Application
6-Bromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (CAS 226942-29-6) is a functionalized tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) derivative bearing a bromine atom at the 6-position. This versatile heterocyclic building block is widely used in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery, particularly for the synthesis of central nervous system (CNS) agents, including antipsychotics, antidepressants, and orexin receptor antagonists. The bromine enables efficient cross-coupling reactions (Suzuki-Miyaura, Buchwald-Hartwig, Sonogashira) for introducing diverse aryl, heteroaryl, or alkyl substituents, facilitating rapid structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. As a privileged scaffold in drug design, it also serves as a key intermediate for developing kinase inhibitors targeting cancer, inflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases. Its rigid, saturated THIQ core offers improved metabolic stability and blood-brain barrier penetration. High purity ensures reproducible results in high-throughput screening and scalable GMP synthesis.
