Benzoic acid, 2-bromo-4,6-dimethoxy-

Description:

Benzoic acid, 2-bromo-4,6-dimethoxy- is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid core substituted with bromine and methoxy groups. The molecular structure features a bromine atom at the 2-position and two methoxy groups (-OCH3) at the 4 and 6 positions of the benzene ring. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the methoxy groups enhances its electron-donating properties, which can influence its reactivity and interactions in chemical reactions. Benzoic acid derivatives often exhibit antimicrobial properties and can be used in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. The compound's CAS number, 62827-49-0, allows for its identification in chemical databases and literature. As with many halogenated compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling due to potential toxicity and environmental impact.
