Physical and Chemical Properties | 2-Bromo-6-methylbenzoic acid is solid at room temperature and pressure. In organic synthesis and transformation, the bromine atom at position 2 of the benzene ring can be converted into aryl or alkyl groups by Suzuki coupling, and can also be converted into boron units by borylation reaction. The carboxyl group in the structure can be converted into hydroxyl group under the reduction of borane, and converted into ester group under acidic or alkaline conditions. |

Use | 2-bromo-6-methylbenzoic acid belongs to benzoic acid derivatives, which are mainly used as intermediates in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry, can be used for the preparation of preservatives, dyes, fungicides and spices. |
synthetic method | 2-amino-6-methoxybenzoic acid (2.01G) was dissolved in acetic acid, in a mixed solution of hydrobromic acid (48% of H2O) and water, the mixture is cooled with saturated sodium chloride in an ice-water bath, an aqueous solution of NaNO2 (1 equivalent) was slowly added dropwise to the reaction system, and then the mixture was stirred at 0 degrees for 2.5-3 hours, and the resulting diazonium salt was cooled still at 0 degrees. A solution of cuprous bromide (1 equiv.) in HBr(48% of H2O, 0.5mL per mmoltubr) was added at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at 65 degrees for 2.5-3 hours, the mixture was diluted with water, and the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate three times. The organic layer was separated by washing with brine, the organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the sodium sulfate solid was removed by filtration, the resulting filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to remove the solvent to obtain the target molecule 2-bromo-6-methylbenzoic acid.
