2-Bromobenzophenone (Cat No.: M058683) is an aromatic ketone featuring a benzophenone core with a bromine substituent at the 2-position of one of the phenyl rings. It appears as a pale yellow crystalline solid and serves as an important intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. The bromine atom provides a reactive site for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck. Its structural rigidity and electronic properties make it useful in materials science and photochemical studies.
