Benzoyl chloride, 3-bromo-4-methoxy-

Description:

Benzoyl chloride, 3-bromo-4-methoxy- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzoyl group, a bromine atom, and a methoxy group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a carbonyl group (C=O) adjacent to a chlorine atom, which contributes to its reactivity, particularly in acylation reactions. The bromine atom and methoxy group are positioned at the 3 and 4 positions of the aromatic ring, respectively, influencing the compound's electronic properties and reactivity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, and it is known to be corrosive and reactive, especially with water, forming hydrochloric acid and other byproducts. Due to its functional groups, it can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions, making it valuable in organic synthesis and the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Proper handling and storage are essential due to its hazardous nature.
