1-Bromo-3-methoxy-5-methylbenzene（Cat No.:L017862）, also known as 5-bromo-2-methylanisole, is an aromatic compound featuring a bromine atom at the 1-position, a methoxy group at the 3-position, and a methyl group at the 5-position on a benzene ring. This substitution pattern creates a molecule with both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups, offering unique reactivity in electrophilic and nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions. It is commonly used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis, as well as in materials science. The bromine allows for cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of more complex aromatic systems.
