Description
3,5-Dibromobenzoic Acid (CAS No. 618-58-6) is a high-purity aromatic carboxylic acid derivative with the molecular formula C7H4Br2O2. This white to off-white crystalline powder is widely utilized in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical research, and material science due to its reactive bromine substituents and carboxylic acid functionality. With a molecular weight of 279.91 g/mol, it offers excellent solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol, methanol, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), while being sparingly soluble in water. Each batch is rigorously tested via HPLC, NMR, and elemental analysis to ensure ≥98% purity, making it ideal for sensitive applications. Proper storage at 2-8°C in a tightly sealed container is recommended to maintain stability.

Application
3,5-Dibromobenzoic acid serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers. Its bromine groups enable efficient electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, while the carboxylic acid moiety allows for further derivatization via esterification or amidation. Researchers frequently employ it in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to construct biaryl compounds. It is also used as a precursor for liquid crystals and corrosion inhibitors.
