Description

2-Bromo-4-methylanisole (CAS No. 22002-45-5) is a high-purity brominated aromatic compound with the molecular formula C₈H₉BrO. This organobromine derivative, also known by its IUPAC name 2-bromo-1-methoxy-4-methylbenzene, is a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. The compound features a bromine substituent at the 2-position and a methoxy group at the 1-position of a 4-methylbenzene ring, offering unique reactivity for electrophilic substitutions and cross-coupling reactions.

Our product is rigorously tested to ensure ≥98% purity (GC), with stringent quality control for moisture, heavy metals, and residual solvents. Supplied in amber glass bottles under inert gas to prevent degradation, it is ideal for use in Suzuki-Miyaura couplings, Grignard reactions, and as a precursor for agrochemicals or liquid crystal materials. Technical data including ¹H/¹³C NMR spectra and HPLC chromatograms are available upon request.
