5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzoic acid

Description:
5-Bromo-2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzoic acid, with the CAS number 36194-82-8, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a bromine atom, a hydroxyl group, and a methyl group on a benzoic acid framework. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its acidity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and nucleophilic substitution. The bromine substituent can enhance the compound's reactivity, making it useful in synthetic organic chemistry. Additionally, this compound may exhibit biological activity, which can be explored in pharmaceutical applications. Its structural features suggest potential uses in the development of agrochemicals or as intermediates in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
