Ethyl 4-bromo-2-methylbenzoate

Description:

Ethyl 4-bromo-2-methylbenzoate is an organic compound belonging to the class of esters, specifically a substituted benzoate. It features a benzene ring with a bromine atom and a methyl group attached to the aromatic system, along with an ethyl ester functional group. The presence of the bromine atom introduces notable reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis processes, including electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Ethyl 4-bromo-2-methylbenzoate can be synthesized through the esterification of 4-bromo-2-methylbenzoic acid with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst. Its applications span across organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, owing to its ability to serve as an intermediate in the formation of more complex molecules. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
