1,1'-Biphenyl, 2-bromo-4'-methoxy-

Description:

1,1'-Biphenyl, 2-bromo-4'-methoxy- is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. The presence of a bromine atom at the 2-position and a methoxy group (-OCH3) at the 4'-position on one of the phenyl rings contributes to its chemical reactivity and physical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Its molecular structure allows for various applications in organic synthesis and materials science, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The bromine substituent can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, while the methoxy group can influence the electron density of the aromatic system, affecting its reactivity. As with many halogenated compounds, it is important to handle this substance with care due to potential environmental and health impacts.
