3-Bromobenzoic acid methyl ester(CAT: R017534) is an aromatic ester derivative featuring a bromine atom at the meta position of the benzene ring. With the molecular formula C₈H₇BrO₂, it appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or crystalline solid. This compound is widely used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for preparing pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials. The bromine substituent enables further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Heck, or Sonogashira couplings, while the ester group can be readily hydrolyzed or transformed into other derivatives.
