Uses | 4-Cyanobenzyl bromide is an important intermediate for pharmaceutical production. It can be used for the synthesis of a series of piperidine-linked aromatic diimidazolines, which have been synthesized as conformationally restricted congeners of the anti-Pneumocystis carinii (PCP) drug, Pentamidine.
