2-Bromobenzonitrile (Cat No.: R023530) is an aromatic organic compound with the chemical formula C₇H₄BrN. It features a benzene ring substituted with a bromine atom at the ortho (2) position and a nitrile group (-CN) at the 1-position. This pale yellow to colorless solid is a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dye production. Its structure enables participation in cross-coupling reactions like Suzuki and Heck reactions, allowing for the creation of more complex aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds.
