Bromomalonaldehyde (Cat No.: R005835) is a reactive organic compound containing a bromine atom and two aldehyde groups on a three-carbon chain. It is typically used as an electrophilic reagent and intermediate in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Due to its high reactivity, especially toward nucleophiles, bromomalonaldehyde is valuable in constructing complex molecular frameworks, including biologically active compounds. It is also employed in biochemical assays and as a building block in research focused on drug discovery and fluorescent dye development.
