CAS 1187238-21-6: 2-Bromo-5-(hydroxymethyl)benzoic acid

Description: 2-Bromo-5-(hydroxymethyl)benzoic acid is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a bromine atom and a hydroxymethyl group attached to a benzoic acid framework. The bromine substituent is located at the second position, while the hydroxymethyl group is found at the fifth position of the benzene ring. This compound exhibits both acidic and polar characteristics due to the carboxylic acid functional group, which can donate protons in solution, and the hydroxymethyl group, which can participate in hydrogen bonding. The presence of the bromine atom introduces additional reactivity, making it a potential candidate for further chemical transformations. Its molecular structure contributes to its solubility in polar solvents and may influence its biological activity. 2-Bromo-5-(hydroxymethyl)benzoic acid can be utilized in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. As with many brominated compounds, it is essential to handle it with care due to potential environmental and health impacts.
