3-bromo-5-methylphenol

Description:

3-Bromo-5-methylphenol, with the CAS number 74204-00-5, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of brominated phenols. It features a bromine atom and a methyl group attached to a phenolic ring, specifically at the 3 and 5 positions, respectively. This compound typically appears as a solid or crystalline substance and is characterized by its distinct aromatic properties due to the presence of the phenolic structure. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water, influenced by the hydroxyl group. The bromine substituent enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 3-bromo-5-methylphenol may exhibit antimicrobial properties, which can be advantageous in certain formulations. As with many brominated compounds, safety precautions should be observed due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns associated with brominated organic substances.
