Methyl α-bromo-4-chlorobenzenepropanoate

Description:

Methyl α-bromo-4-chlorobenzenepropanoate, with the CAS number 7141-89-1, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and the presence of halogen substituents. This compound features a propanoate moiety linked to a benzene ring that is further substituted with both a bromine and a chlorine atom, specifically at the para position relative to the ester group. The presence of these halogens typically influences the compound's reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. Methyl α-bromo-4-chlorobenzenepropanoate is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. It is soluble in organic solvents but may have limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. This compound is of interest in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where halogenated compounds often exhibit enhanced biological activity or stability. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance due to its potential toxicity and reactivity.
