2-Bromo-1,3,5-tri-tert-butylbenzene（Cat No.:L019919）is a sterically hindered aromatic compound featuring three bulky tert-butyl groups at the 1, 3, and 5 positions and a bromine atom at the 2-position of the benzene ring. The tert-butyl groups provide significant steric protection, making this compound valuable in organometallic chemistry where bulky ligands are needed to control reactivity or stabilize reactive intermediates. The bromine serves as a functional handle for cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Grignard chemistry. It is often used in the synthesis of ligands, catalysts, and sterically demanding molecular architectures.
