2-bromo-3-methylphenylacetic acid; CAS No.: 248920-11-8;2-bromo-3-methylphenylacetic acid. PROPERTIES: 2-bromo-3-methylphenylacetic acid is a brominated and methylated aromatic carboxylic acid with molecular formula C9H8BrO2. It typically exists as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a melting point of approximately 130-135 C. The compound has limited water solubility but dissolves in basic aqueous solutions. It exhibits moderate thermal stability but may decompose when exposed to high temperatures or strong acids, releasing toxic bromine vapors. Proper storage involves keeping it in tightly sealed containers below 25 C, protected from moisture and heat. APPLICATIONS: In pharmaceutical research, this compound serves as a lead structure for developing antimicrobial and anticancer agents. The bromo and methyl substitution provides structural diversity that enhances binding to biological targets, while the carboxylic acid group forms the pharmacophore essential for activity (European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry). In materials science, 2-bromo-3-methylphenylacetic acid contributes to the creation of functional organic materials with tailored electronic properties. Its brominated aromatic core and carboxylic acid group influence the electronic characteristics of derived materials, useful in optoelectronic applications such as organic light-emitting diodes (Journal of Materials Chemistry C). The compound can also form coordination polymers or metal-organic frameworks with potential applications in gas storage or catalysis (Chemistry of Materials).
