Description:4-Bromocatechol, also known as 4-bromo-1,2-dihydroxybenzene, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a bromine atom and two hydroxyl groups (-OH) attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a bromine substituent at the para position relative to one of the hydroxyl groups, which influences its chemical reactivity and properties. This compound is typically a white to light yellow solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the hydroxyl groups, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. 4-Bromocatechol is used in various chemical syntheses and can serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. Its reactivity is enhanced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the bromine atom, making it a useful building block in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which warrants careful handling and consideration of safety protocols during its use in laboratory settings.
