1-Bromo-2-chloro-4-methoxybenzene

Description:

1-Bromo-2-chloro-4-methoxybenzene, with the CAS number 50638-46-5, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of both bromine and chlorine substituents on a benzene ring, along with a methoxy group (-OCH3) at the para position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its moderate polarity due to the electronegative halogen atoms and the methoxy group, which can influence its reactivity and solubility in various solvents. The presence of the bromine and chlorine atoms makes it a potential candidate for nucleophilic substitution reactions, while the methoxy group can act as an electron-donating group, enhancing the reactivity of the aromatic ring. Additionally, this compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and material science. Proper handling and storage are essential due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact.
