3-methoxybenzyl bromide

Description:

3-Methoxybenzyl bromide, with the CAS number 874-98-6, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of both a methoxy group and a bromine atom. It features a benzene ring substituted at the 3-position with a methoxy group (-OCH₃) and at the 1-position with a bromine atom (-Br), making it a member of the benzyl bromide family. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 3-Methoxybenzyl bromide is often used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the bromine atom, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
