Ethyl 3-bromo-4-methylbenzoate

Description:
Ethyl 3-bromo-4-methylbenzoate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from benzoic acid. It features a bromine atom and a methyl group attached to the aromatic ring, specifically at the 3 and 4 positions, respectively. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its pleasant, sweet odor. Ethyl 3-bromo-4-methylbenzoate is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. It is often used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of the bromine atom makes it a useful reagent in substitution reactions, while the ethyl ester group can participate in hydrolysis and transesterification reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
