3,5-Dimethylbenzyl bromide（Cat No.:L011411）is an aromatic alkyl halide consisting of a benzene ring substituted with methyl groups at the 3- and 5-positions and a bromomethyl group at the 1-position. This compound appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and serves as a valuable alkylating agent in organic synthesis. The benzylic bromide functionality is highly reactive toward nucleophilic substitution, making it useful for introducing the 3,5-dimethylbenzyl group into various molecules. It is commonly employed in the preparation of pharmaceutical intermediates, fragrances, and functionalized materials, especially where benzylic reactivity and aromatic substitution are advantageous.
