2-Bromostyrene (Cat No.: R054879) is an organic compound with the molecular formula C₈H₇Br, consisting of a styrene backbone where a bromine atom is substituted at the ortho (2-) position of the phenyl ring. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The vinyl group allows participation in polymerization and cross-coupling reactions, while the bromine atom serves as a handle for palladium-catalyzed transformations like Suzuki and Heck reactions. 2-Bromostyrene is valuable in pharmaceutical and material chemistry research.
