3-bromo-4-ethylbenzoic acid

Description:
3-Bromo-4-ethylbenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a bromine atom and an ethyl group attached to a benzoic acid framework. The bromine substituent is located at the meta position (3-position) relative to the carboxylic acid group, while the ethyl group is at the para position (4-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. Its molecular structure contributes to its unique chemical properties, including potential reactivity in electrophilic substitution reactions due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the bromine atom. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group allows for acid-base reactions and the formation of salts. 3-Bromo-4-ethylbenzoic acid may be utilized in various applications, including organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and as an intermediate in the production of dyes and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as with many halogenated organic substances.
