Application

(5-Bromo-2-chlorophenyl)methanol serves as a critical building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for antipsychotic and antiviral compounds. Its benzylic hydroxyl group facilitates conjugation with biomolecules in proteomics research, while the halogenated aromatic ring enables palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Researchers utilize this compound to develop novel liquid crystal materials and photoactive polymers due to its electron-withdrawing substituents.
