Description
Ethyl 3-bromo-2,5-difluorobenzoate (CAS No. 1504876-00-9) is a high-purity fluorinated aromatic ester with the molecular formula C9H7BrF2O2. This compound is a valuable building block in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its structure features a benzoate core substituted with bromine and fluorine atoms at the 3-, 2-, and 5-positions, offering unique reactivity for cross-coupling reactions, nucleophilic substitutions, and other transformations. The ethyl ester group enhances solubility in organic solvents, facilitating downstream applications. Supplied as a clear to pale-yellow liquid or low-melting solid, it is rigorously tested for quality (typically ≥95% purity by GC/HPLC) and packaged under inert conditions to ensure stability. Ideal for use in medicinal chemistry, material science, and as a precursor for advanced intermediates.
