Product Description:

4-Bromophenethyl alcohol is an organic compound featuring a bromine-substituted phenyl ring attached to an ethanol side chain. It is a white to off-white crystalline solid with a molecular formula of C8H9BrO and a molecular weight of 201.06 g/mol. This compound serves as a versatile bifunctional building block in organic synthesis. Its primary utility lies in its role as a key synthetic intermediate. The bromine atom on the aromatic ring is amenable to various cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Heck, Sonogashira), while the primary alcohol group can be readily oxidized to an aldehyde or carboxylic acid, or converted into other functional groups such as halides or esters. This makes it a valuable precursor for the synthesis of more complex molecules, including pharmaceuticals, liquid crystals, and advanced materials. It is commonly used in research and development settings.
