1-Bromo-2-(4-methylphenoxy)benzene

Description:

1-Bromo-2-(4-methylphenoxy)benzene is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a bromine atom and a 4-methylphenoxy group attached to a benzene ring. This compound features a bromine substituent at the second position and a phenoxy group at the para position relative to the bromine. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. The presence of the bromine atom contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. The 4-methylphenoxy group enhances its solubility in organic solvents and may influence its biological activity. This compound is of interest in synthetic organic chemistry and may serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks due to the presence of bromine and its potential reactivity. Proper storage and disposal methods should be followed to mitigate environmental impact.
