3-Bromo-5-cyano-2-methylbenzoic acid

3-Bromo-5-cyano-2-methylbenzoic acid (CAS: 1807019-17-5) is an organic compound with the molecular formula C9H6BrNO2. It features a benzoic acid core substituted with a bromine atom, a cyano group, and a methyl group. This poly-functionalized aromatic intermediate is valuable in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly for the construction of complex molecules where precise placement of these functional groups is required. Its bromine atom can serve as a leaving group for various coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Heck, Sonogashira), while the cyano group can be hydrolyzed to a carboxylic acid or reduced to an amine. The carboxylic acid group offers further derivatization possibilities. It is intended for Research Use Only (RUO).

• Handle 3-Bromo-5-cyano-2-methylbenzoic acid in a well-ventilated area or fume hood.
