4-Bromo-benzeneacetic acid ethyl ester(CAT: R023896) is an aromatic ester featuring a bromine-substituted phenyl ring attached to an acetic acid ethyl ester moiety. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. The para-bromo substituent allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck, while the ester group offers reactivity for hydrolysis, amidation, or transesterification. Its combination of electrophilic and ester functionalities makes it ideal for constructing complex aromatic frameworks. 4-Bromo-benzeneacetic acid ethyl ester is widely used in medicinal chemistry and chemical development projects.
