Description

Methyl 4-bromo-3-methylbenzoate is an aryl boronic acid that has been used in the study of lactams. It has been shown to interact with acidic substances and crystal x-ray diffraction has revealed it to be a carbonyl reductant. Functional theory suggests that this compound is capable of reducing an ester or carboxylic acid using hydrogen gas, forming an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. Methyl 4-bromo-3-methylbenzoate also reacts with maleic anhydride, unsymmetrical dihydroxyacetone, photochromism, and constant light. X-ray crystal structures have revealed the molecule's molecular structure. The methyl group is attached to the 3rd carbon atom on the benzene ring, while the bromine atom is located at the 4th carbon atom on the benzene ring. The carbon atoms are connected through single bonds and there are two
