Phenol, 2-bromo-5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-

Description:

Phenol, 2-bromo-5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 20942-68-1, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of brominated phenols. It features a phenolic hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring, which is further substituted at the 2-position with a bromine atom and at the 5-position with a tert-butyl group (1,1-dimethylethyl). This structure imparts unique chemical properties, including increased hydrophobicity due to the bulky tert-butyl group, which can influence its reactivity and solubility in organic solvents. The presence of the bromine atom enhances its electrophilic character, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. Additionally, phenolic compounds are known for their antioxidant properties, and the specific substitutions in this compound may affect its biological activity. As with many brominated compounds, safety precautions should be taken due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns associated with brominated organic substances.

CAS: 20942-68-1

2-Bromo-5-tert-butylphenol is a carboxylic molecule that has been studied for its role in the Suzuki coupling reaction. It has been shown to be an efficient method for synthesizing acid complexes containing a carboxylic acid group, such as bromoacetic acid and chloroacetic acid. The research on this molecule is still ongoing, but it has been shown to have functions in both organic and inorganic chemistry. 2-Bromo-5-tert-butylphenol crystallizes efficiently from ethyl acetate and x-ray crystal structure analysis has revealed that it is an isomorphous substitution of the molecular structure with monochlorobenzene.
