CAS: 7149-70-4

Ref. 3D-FB158928

Product Information

• Name: 2-Bromo-5-nitrotoluene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Bromo-5-nitrotoluene is a monosubstituted aromatic compound with a pKa of -2.5. The hydroxyl group on the ring makes this compound acidic, and it will readily react with an electrophile to form an addition product. 2-Bromo-5-nitrotoluene undergoes reductive elimination to form 2-aminoethanol, which is more stable than the nitroso group. The mechanism of this reaction involves labile intermediates that are sensitive to light and heat. The frequency data for 2-bromo-5-nitrotoluene can be found in the table below: 2H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl) δ 7.60 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.50 (dd, J=8 Hz, 1H), 3.80 (s, 3H). 1H N
