Application

Ethyl 2-Bromo-5-iodobenzoate serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its dual halogen functionality allows sequential palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to construct biaryl or aryl-alkyne scaffolds. This compound is also employed in the development of liquid crystals and photoactive materials due to its electron-deficient aromatic core. Researchers value it for modular derivatization in drug discovery programs targeting kinase inhibitors or antimicrobial agents.
