4-Bromo-2-methylphenol

Description:

4-Bromo-2-methylphenol, with the CAS number 2362-12-1, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of phenols. It features a bromine atom and a methyl group attached to a phenolic ring, specifically at the para and ortho positions, respectively. This compound typically appears as a solid or crystalline substance and is characterized by its distinct aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the phenolic structure. 4-Bromo-2-methylphenol exhibits antimicrobial properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a preservative and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the bromine atom, which can participate in electrophilic substitution reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate protective equipment should be used to minimize exposure.
