Product Information

• Name: 2,4-Dibromo-5-methoxyaniline
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,4-Dibromo-5-methoxyaniline is an analog of 2,4-diaminopyridine. It is a synthetic compound that can be prepared by catalytic reduction of the corresponding bromide. The yields are between 60 and 90%. It is used as a precursor to make other compounds such as methoxybenzene and 4-bromo-2,6-dimethoxyphenol. The compound has two methoxy groups and two hydroxy groups that can be substituted with dialkoxy or alkoxy groups. This compound also undergoes debromination to form 2,4-dibromo-5-(hydroxymethyl)aniline. 2,4-Dibromo-5-(hydroxymethyl)aniline can be oxidized to form aniline or reduced to form dihydroxybenzene (1,3).
