2-Bromo-4-nitrobenzoic Acid(CAT: R005306) is a halogenated aromatic carboxylic acid widely used as a synthetic intermediate in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material chemistry research. The presence of both bromo and nitro substituents enhances its electrophilic reactivity, making it valuable for cross-coupling reactions, nucleophilic substitutions, and heterocycle synthesis. Researchers employ this compound in the preparation of bioactive molecules, enzyme inhibitors, and fine chemical derivatives, where controlled substitution patterns are critical. Its carboxylic acid functionality also supports derivatization into esters, amides, and other functionalized compounds.
