Benzoic acid, 2-bromo-6-methoxy-, methyl ester

Description:

Benzoic acid, 2-bromo-6-methoxy-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 31786-46-6, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from benzoic acid. This compound features a bromine atom and a methoxy group (-OCH3) positioned on the aromatic ring, specifically at the 2 and 6 positions, respectively. The presence of these substituents influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. Typically, such esters are known for their relatively low boiling points and moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to their hydrophobic aromatic structure. The bromine atom can impart unique reactivity, making the compound useful in various synthetic applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, the methoxy group can enhance the compound's electron-donating properties, affecting its behavior in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Overall, this compound is of interest in both academic research and industrial applications, particularly in the fields of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
