Description:2-Bromo-4-chloro-1-methylbenzene, also known as p-bromo-m-chloro-toluene, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a methyl group, a bromine atom, and a chlorine atom attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C8H8BrCl, indicating it contains eight carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms, one bromine atom, and one chlorine atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water. The presence of halogen substituents (bromine and chlorine) contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis processes, including the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 2-bromo-4-chloro-1-methylbenzene can undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, which are common in aromatic chemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks due to its halogenated nature.
