2-chloro-4-methoxybenzyl bromide; CAS No.: 54788-17-9;2-chloro-4-methoxybenzyl bromide. PROPERTIES: 2-chloro-4-methoxybenzyl bromide is a chlorinated and methoxylated aromatic alkyl bromide with molecular formula C8H8BrClO. It typically exists as a colorless liquid with a boiling point around 130-135 C. The compound has limited water solubility but dissolves well in organic solvents like dichloromethane or carbon tetrachloride. It exhibits moderate thermal stability but may decompose when exposed to high temperatures or strong bases, releasing toxic bromine vapors. Proper storage involves keeping it in tightly sealed containers below 25 C, away from heat sources and incompatible materials. APPLICATIONS: In organic synthesis, this compound serves as a versatile intermediate for creating complex aromatic systems. The chloro and methoxy substituents provide multiple sites for cross-coupling and nucleophilic substitution reactions, while the benzyl bromide group enables formation of carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bonds (The Journal of Organic Chemistry). In pharmaceutical development, 2-chloro-4-methoxybenzyl bromide contributes to the synthesis of antimicrobial agents where the halogenated aromatic scaffold enhances binding to microbial targets (Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy). The compound also finds application in materials science as a building block for organic electronics, where its electron-deficient aromatic core modulates the electronic properties of derived materials (Advanced Materials).
