2-bromo-5-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

2-Bromo-5-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 fifth position of the benzene ring, which influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone. It exhibits acidic properties due to the carboxylic acid functional group, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and nucleophilic substitution. The presence of the bromine atom can also enhance its reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Additionally, 2-bromo-5-methylbenzoic acid can serve as an important intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.

2-Bromo-5-methylbenzoic acid

CAS: 6967-82-4

2-Bromo-5-methylbenzoic acid is an organic compound that can be synthesized in the laboratory. It is used as a starting material for synthesis of various quinazolinones, which are ionic liquid catalysts. 2-Bromo-5-methylbenzoic acid has also been shown to inhibit ethylene production from glycols and to act as a potential catalyst for the conversion of trifluoromethane into ionic liquids. The synthesis of 2-bromo-5-methylbenzoic acid is not well documented, but it can be made by reacting methyl bromide with benzaldehyde or acetone in the presence of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. This reaction produces bromobenzene, which reacts with phosphorus pentachloride to produce 2-bromo-5-methylbenzoic acid.
