2-Bromo-3-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

2-Bromo-3-methylbenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a bromine atom and a methyl group on a benzoic acid framework. The bromine substituent is located at the second position, while the methyl group is at the third position relative to the carboxylic acid group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. Its molecular structure contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various organic synthesis applications, including the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of the bromine atom can enhance electrophilic substitution reactions, while the carboxylic acid group can participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties and reactivity. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.

2-Bromo-3-methylbenzoic acid

CAS: 53663-39-1

2-Bromo-3-methylbenzoic acid is an alcohol that has been shown to be selective for the stereoselective synthesis of chiral secondary alcohols. It has been used in the reduction of 2-formylphenylboronic acid, yielding a mixture of the two possible diastereomers, and in the reductive elimination of carboxylic acids, which can be used as an alternative to the Baylis-Hillman reaction. The compound also has inhibitory activity against several bacteria, including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. 2-Bromo-3-methylbenzoic acid is photochromic and changes color from yellow to red when exposed to UV light.
