Methyl (4-bromophenyl)acetate

Description:

Methyl (4-bromophenyl)acetate, with the CAS number 41841-16-1, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It is derived from the reaction of 4-bromophenol and acetic anhydride or acetic acid, resulting in a structure that features a methyl ester linked to a 4-bromophenyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, fruity odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic ring. Methyl (4-bromophenyl)acetate is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in organic synthesis as an intermediate for producing other chemical compounds. Its bromine substituent can impart unique reactivity, making it useful in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.
