CAS 556-96-7

5-Bromo-m-xylene

Description:

5-Bromo-m-xylene, with the CAS number 556-96-7, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a bromine atom and two methyl groups attached to a benzene ring. Specifically, it features a bromine substituent at the 5-position and methyl groups at the 1 and 3 positions of the aromatic ring, classifying it as a derivative of m-xylene. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct aromatic odor. It is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical reactions and applications. 5-Bromo-m-xylene can participate in electrophilic substitution reactions due to the electron-donating effects of the methyl groups, which enhance the reactivity of the aromatic ring. Additionally, it is utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. As with many brominated compounds, it is important to handle 5-bromo-m-xylene with care due to potential environmental and health impacts associated with brominated organic compounds.
