Application

1-Bromo-3-(methoxymethyl)benzene is widely used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly for the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemicals. Its reactive bromine moiety enables cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki-Miyaura) to construct biaryl structures. The methoxymethyl group serves as a protective group or functional handle in medicinal chemistry. Researchers also utilize this compound in material science for designing liquid crystals and organic electronic materials.
