2-Bromo-6-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

2-Bromo-6-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 second position, while the methyl group is at the sixth position of the benzene ring, contributing to its unique reactivity and properties. 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 acidic properties due to the carboxylic acid functional group, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and nucleophilic substitution. The presence of the bromine atom can also enhance its reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. 2-Bromo-6-methylbenzoic acid is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks.
