1,4-Dibromo-2,5-dimethoxybenzene(CAT: L025559) is a brominated aromatic compound featuring two bromine atoms at the para positions and methoxy groups at the 2 and 5 positions of the benzene ring. This symmetrically substituted molecule is widely used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of conjugated polymers, liquid crystals, and organic electronic materials such as OLEDs and OFETs. The bromine atoms enable efficient cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Stille), while the methoxy groups influence electronic properties and solubility. Its electron-rich, functionalized aromatic core makes it ideal for constructing π-conjugated systems in materials chemistry, as well as for designing custom ligands and fine chemicals.
