Product Information

• Name: 2-(Bromomethyl)benzoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-(Bromomethyl)benzoic acid is a functional group that can be found in many organic compounds. It is a derivative of phthalic acid and has some similar properties, including the ability to form micelles and radical species. 2-(Bromomethyl)benzoic acid has been shown to react with carbon tetrachloride or terephthalic acid to produce peroxides. This reaction is initiated by oxidation of the carbon-carbon double bond, which produces a radical pair that reacts with oxygen in the air to form radicals that are stabilized by resonance. 2-(Bromomethyl)benzoic acid also reacts with an inorganic base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide to produce bromine gas and water.
