2-bromo-3-methylphenol

Description:

2-Bromo-3-methylphenol, with the CAS number 22061-78-5, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of phenols, characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring. This compound features a bromine atom and a methyl group as substituents on the aromatic ring, specifically at the 2 and 3 positions, respectively. It typically appears as a solid or crystalline substance and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. 2-Bromo-3-methylphenol exhibits antimicrobial properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a preservative in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it can serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.

2-Bromo-3-methylphenol is a chemical with the molecular formula CHBrO. It is a white solid that melts at -4°C. 2-Bromo-3-methylphenol is used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for the preparation of trifluoroacetic acid, hydrochloric acid, and other organic compounds. It can be prepared by reacting methyl phenol with bromine and hydrochloric acid in the presence of copper. The reaction produces 2,2′,2″-(1,2,2-triethoxyethane)trifluoroacetic acid. This process has been shown to have high yield and to be environmentally friendly because it does not produce chlorinated byproducts. 2-Bromo-3-methylphenol can also be synthesized from methyl phenol and bromine using copper chloride in polyphosphoric acid or hydrogenated trifluoroacetic acid.
