4-Bromo-3-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

4-Bromo-3-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 para position (4-position) relative to the carboxylic acid group, while the methyl group is at the meta position (3-position). This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. It exhibits typical acid properties, including the ability to donate a proton (H+) due to its carboxylic acid functional group. The presence of the bromine atom can influence its reactivity and physical properties, such as increasing the compound's lipophilicity and potentially affecting its biological activity. 4-Bromo-3-methylbenzoic acid is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.

4-Bromo-3-methylbenzoic acid

CAS: 7697-28-1

4-Bromo-3-methylbenzoic acid is a synthetic compound that belongs to the group of imidazolidinones. It has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 4-Bromo-3-methylbenzoic acid has also demonstrated photochromism, which is the property of changing color in response to light exposure. The chromophore is a phenyl group on the 3rd carbon atom from the carboxylic acid group. It is believed that this chromophore reacts with oxygen in air to form an oxonium ion, which then reacts with benzoate to produce an excited state. This excited state then relaxes back down to ground state by emitting light at wavelengths of approximately 400 nm and above.
