2-(2-Bromoethyl)benzaldehyde（Cat No.:L012338）is an aromatic aldehyde derivative featuring a bromine-substituted ethyl group at the ortho (2) position relative to the formyl group on a benzene ring. This bifunctional compound contains both an aldehyde and an alkyl bromide, enabling diverse reactivity in organic synthesis. It is commonly used as an intermediate in the preparation of heterocycles, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals. The bromine atom allows for nucleophilic substitution and coupling reactions, while the aldehyde can undergo condensation or reduction. Its ortho-substitution pattern also facilitates intramolecular cyclization and functional group transformations.
