Product Description:

3-Bromobenzoic acid is an organic compound featuring both a carboxylic acid group and a bromine atom attached to a benzene ring at the meta position. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a molecular formula of C7H5BrO2 and a molecular weight of 201.02 g/mol. This compound is a versatile and fundamental organic synthesis building block. The carboxylic acid group allows for various derivatization reactions (e.g., esterification, amidation), while the bromine atom serves as an excellent site for transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki, Stille, or Heck reactions. This dual functionality makes it a valuable starting material or intermediate for constructing more complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and materials chemistry research. It is commonly used in the synthesis of liquid crystals, agrochemicals, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). 3-Bromobenzoic acid should be handled with care in a well-ventilated area, using appropriate personal protective equipment. It may cause skin and eye irritation.
