1-Bromo-2,3-dimethyl-4-fluorobenzene is a chemical compound that is used in the synthesis of other organic compounds. It is produced by the bromination of 2,3-dimethylbenzene with hydrobromic acid and sodium bromide in a large quantity. The reaction proceeds via an elimination reaction:
The bromine atom is eliminated from one of the molecules of 2,3-dimethylbenzene to form 1-bromo-2,3-dimethylbenzene. 1,1'-dibromoethane is also formed as a byproduct. This method can be carried out on an industrial scale.
1-Bromo-2,3-dimethyl-4-fluorobenzene can also be synthesized by the methoxylation of 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenol with sulfuric acid and
