5-Bromo-2-methoxybenzoic acid

Description:
5-Bromo-2-methoxybenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a bromine atom and a methoxy group on a benzoic acid framework. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring substituted at the 5-position with a bromine atom and at the 2-position with a methoxy group (-OCH3), which influences its chemical reactivity and solubility. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic nature. It is often used in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research, serving as an intermediate in the preparation of various biologically active compounds. The presence of the bromine atom can enhance the compound's reactivity in electrophilic substitution reactions, while the methoxy group can serve as a directing group in further functionalization. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
