4-Bromobenzyl Bromide（Cat No.:R024538）is a bifunctional aromatic halide featuring a bromomethyl group attached to a 4-bromophenyl ring. It is widely used as an alkylating agent and intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functionalized organic compounds. The presence of two reactive bromine atoms—one on the aromatic ring and one on the benzylic carbon—enables diverse transformations, including nucleophilic substitutions, cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Heck), and heterocycle formation. Its reactivity and structural versatility make it valuable for constructing complex molecular frameworks in medicinal and materials chemistry.
