Description:2-Bromo-4-nitrophenol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both bromine and nitro functional groups attached to a phenolic ring. Its molecular formula is C6H4BrN O3, indicating the presence of six carbon atoms, four hydrogen atoms, one bromine atom, one nitrogen atom, and three oxygen atoms. This compound typically appears as a yellow to orange crystalline solid and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water. The bromine atom introduces a halogen, which can influence the compound's reactivity, while the nitro group is a strong electron-withdrawing group, affecting the acidity of the hydroxyl group. 2-Bromo-4-nitrophenol is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. It exhibits properties such as being a weak acid due to the phenolic hydroxyl group, and it can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
