4-Bromo-2-methoxybenzoic acid

Description:
4-Bromo-2-methoxybenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a bromine atom and a methoxy group on a benzoic acid framework. The molecular structure features a bromine substituent at the para position and a methoxy group at the ortho position relative to the carboxylic acid functional group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. It is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of both the bromine and methoxy groups can influence the compound's reactivity, making it a valuable building block in various chemical reactions, including electrophilic aromatic substitution. Additionally, its unique properties may contribute to specific biological activities, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry research. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as with many halogenated organic substances.
