2-Bromo-5-fluorotoluene（Cat No.:L012688）is a halogenated aromatic compound featuring a toluene backbone substituted with a bromine atom at the 2-position and a fluorine atom at the 5-position. This molecule combines electron-donating (methyl) and electron-withdrawing (halogen) groups, enhancing its utility in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Heck, or Sonogashira for complex molecule construction. It serves as a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials. The dual halogenation allows for selective reactivity, while the methyl group adds hydrophobic character, aiding its role in designing diverse aromatic derivatives.
