Application
(2-Bromo-5-iodophenyl)methanol serves as a key building block in medicinal chemistry for the synthesis of halogenated drug candidates, particularly in kinase inhibitor development. Its dual halogen functionality enables sequential palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to construct complex biaryl architectures. The compound is also employed in materials science as a precursor for liquid crystals and OLED intermediates. The hydroxyl group allows facile conversion to aldehydes or carboxylic acids for further derivatization.
