2,6-Dibromo-4-methylbenzaldehyde

Description:
2,6-Dibromo-4-methylbenzaldehyde is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, featuring a benzaldehyde functional group with two bromine substituents and a methyl group. The presence of bromine atoms at the 2 and 6 positions of the benzene ring significantly influences its chemical properties, including increased reactivity and potential for electrophilic substitution reactions. The methyl group at the 4 position contributes to the compound's overall hydrophobic character. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit a distinct odor due to the aldehyde functional group. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. 2,6-Dibromo-4-methylbenzaldehyde can be utilized in various chemical syntheses, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, owing to its reactivity and functional groups. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as brominated compounds can be hazardous. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from light is recommended to maintain its stability.
