Description:2-Bromo-4-nitrobenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of both a bromine atom and a nitro group on the benzene ring. The compound features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) that contributes to its acidic properties. The bromine substituent is located at the second position, while the nitro group is at the fourth position relative to the carboxylic acid group, indicating a para relationship. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. It is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of both electron-withdrawing groups (bromo and nitro) can significantly influence the reactivity and electronic properties of the compound, making it a valuable building block in synthetic chemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
