CAS 620-13-3: 3-Methylbenzyl bromide

Description: 3-Methylbenzyl bromide, also known as meta-tolyl bromide, is an organic compound characterized by a bromine atom attached to a benzyl group that has a methyl substituent in the meta position. Its molecular formula is C9H11Br, and it features a benzene ring with a methyl group and a bromomethyl group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents like ether and chloroform but has limited solubility in water. 3-Methylbenzyl bromide is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. It can undergo various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitution and electrophilic aromatic substitution, making it a versatile building block in synthetic chemistry. As with many brominated compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance.
