2-Bromo-7-hydroxynaphthalene (Cat No.: M028304) is an aromatic compound derived from naphthalene, featuring a bromine atom at the 2-position and a hydroxyl group at the 7-position. This substitution pattern introduces both electrophilic (Br) and nucleophilic (OH) reactive sites, making it valuable as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of dyes, pigments, and pharmaceuticals. The hydroxyl group also imparts modest polarity and hydrogen-bonding potential, while the bromine serves as a handle for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions like Suzuki or Heck.
