Description:5-Bromo-2-nitrophenol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both bromine and nitro functional groups attached to a phenolic ring. Its molecular structure features a bromine atom at the 5-position and a nitro group at the 2-position of the phenol, which contributes to its chemical reactivity and properties. This compound typically appears as a solid and is known for its yellow to brown coloration. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. 5-Bromo-2-nitrophenol exhibits acidic properties, as the hydroxyl group can donate a proton, making it a weak acid. It is often used in various chemical syntheses and as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Additionally, the presence of both the bromine and nitro groups can influence its reactivity, making it a useful compound in electrophilic substitution reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks.
