methyl 2-bromo-4-nitrobenzoate; CAS No.: 100959-22-6; methyl 2-bromo-4-nitrobenzoate. PROPERTIES: This bromo-nitro-substituted benzoate ester features molecular formula C?H?BrNO? with molecular weight 243.05 g/mol. It generally appears as a white crystalline powder. Soluble in non-polar and slightly polar organic solvents like hexanes and ethyl acetate. Melting point approximately 80-85 C. Exhibits IR absorption for ester (~1750 cm??) and nitro groups (~1520 and ~1350 cm??). Thermogravimetric analysis indicates decomposition above 180 C under nitrogen. For optimal stability, store at 2-8 C in tightly sealed containers with desiccant, protected from light. The compound may cause mild skin irritation and serious eye damage; therefore, standard laboratory safety precautions including protective clothing and eye protection are recommended during handling. APPLICATIONS: As a bromo-nitro-substituted benzoate ester, methyl 2-bromo-4-nitrobenzoate is predominantly utilized in the synthesis of agrochemicals. It serves as a key intermediate in constructing pyrazole-based herbicides, where the bromo and nitro groups provide valuable binding affinity for plant enzymes as demonstrated in pesticide chemistry research (Pest Management Science). Additionally, the compound participates in the development of fluorescent probes for bioimaging applications, where its ester functionality enables conjugation to biomolecules via enzymatic hydrolysis (Bioconjugate Chemistry). In materials science, it functions as a monomer for preparing polyurethane foams with enhanced thermal stability, where the bromo and nitro substituents contribute to improved flame retardancy and mechanical properties (Polymer International).
