3-Bromobenzyl methyl ether

Description:

3-Bromobenzyl methyl ether, with the CAS number 1515-89-5, is an organic compound characterized by its ether functional group and a bromine substituent on the benzyl ring. It features a benzene ring substituted at the meta position with a bromine atom and a methyl ether group (-OCH3) attached to the benzyl carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and diethyl ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 3-Bromobenzyl methyl ether is often used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the bromine atom, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks, including irritation to the skin and eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from light is recommended to maintain its stability.
