Description:3-Bromobenzene-1,2-diol, also known as 3-bromo-1,2-benzenediol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a bromine atom and two hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a benzene ring. The bromine substituent is located at the meta position relative to the hydroxyl groups, which are positioned at the 1 and 2 positions of the aromatic ring. This compound is typically a white to light yellow solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of hydroxyl groups, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. It exhibits properties typical of phenolic compounds, including potential antioxidant activity and reactivity in electrophilic substitution reactions. The presence of the bromine atom can also influence its reactivity and stability, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, 3-bromobenzene-1,2-diol may have applications in pharmaceuticals and materials science, although specific uses can vary based on its chemical behavior and interactions with other substances.
