3-Cyanobenzyl bromide（Cat No.:R032242）is an aromatic compound featuring a benzene ring substituted with a bromomethyl group at the benzylic position and a cyano group at the meta (3-) position. The combination of the electrophilic bromide and electron-withdrawing cyano group makes it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis. It is commonly used for introducing the 3-cyanobenzyl moiety into target molecules via nucleophilic substitution reactions. This compound is frequently employed in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials, aiding in the development of bioactive scaffolds and functionalized aromatic building blocks.
