2-Acetyloxy-5-bromobenzoic acid (Cat No.: M050271) is an aromatic compound featuring a bromine atom at the 5-position, a carboxylic acid group, and an acetyloxy (acetylated hydroxyl) group at the 2-position of the benzene ring. This multifunctional structure makes it useful as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. The acetyloxy group enhances stability and modifiability, while the bromine allows for further functionalization via halogen exchange or cross-coupling reactions, facilitating complex molecular construction in medicinal chemistry.
