NBQX(CAS: 118876-58-7)

NBQX is a crystalline compound with a molecular weight of approximately 255.24 g/mol. It has a melting point of about 165°C. NBQX is slightly soluble in water and ethanol. It is moderately reactive, showing some susceptibility to oxidation under air exposure. For detailed physicochemical properties, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

NBQX is usually synthesized through a multi-step process involving the condensation of 2,3-dichlorobenzaldehyde and 4-chlorobenzylamine. The reaction is typically catalyzed by Lewis acids such as aluminum chloride and proceeds with good selectivity and moderate yield. Detailed synthesis procedures can be found in academic journals and patents.

NBQX is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for its role as a selective AMPA receptor antagonist. It is also explored in sensor technology for its ability to interact with specific chemical compounds. In addition, some research applications in semiconductor development utilize NBQX. For more specific applications, refer to recent research papers and industry reports.

When handling NBQX, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat should be worn to protect against potential skin contact and inhalation. Work should be conducted in a fume hood to minimize exposure. Spills should be cleaned up using appropriate absorbent materials and disposed of according to hazardous waste regulations.
