5-Bromo-2-methylbenzoyl chloride

Description:
5-Bromo-2-methylbenzoyl chloride is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a bromine atom and a methyl group attached to a benzoyl chloride moiety. This compound features a benzene ring substituted at the 5-position with a bromine atom and at the 2-position with a methyl group, along with a carbonyl group (C=O) linked to a chlorine atom (Cl). It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The presence of the benzoyl chloride functional group makes it reactive, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, where it can act as an acylating agent. This compound is used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is important to handle 5-Bromo-2-methylbenzoyl chloride with care, as it can be corrosive and may pose health hazards if inhaled or in contact with skin. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this chemical.
