Description
2-Bromo-4-fluoro-1-nitrobenzene (CAS No. 700-36-7) is a high-purity halogenated nitrobenzene derivative with the molecular formula C6H3BrFNO2. This compound is a valuable building block in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its structure features a bromine atom at the 2-position, a fluorine atom at the 4-position, and a nitro group at the 1-position of the benzene ring, making it a versatile intermediate for nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions and cross-coupling methodologies. Supplied as a crystalline solid with >98% purity (HPLC), it is rigorously tested for consistency and stability under recommended storage conditions (2-8°C, inert atmosphere). Ideal for use in Suzuki-Miyaura, Buchwald-Hartwig, and other palladium-catalyzed transformations.
