5-Bromo-2-methylaniline（Cat No.:L041333）is an aromatic amine with the molecular formula C7H8BrN. It features a benzene ring substituted with a bromine atom at the 5-position, a methyl group at the 2-position, and an amino group at the 1-position. This compound appears as a light-colored solid and is commonly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. The electron-donating amino and methyl groups, combined with the electron-withdrawing bromine, make it reactive in electrophilic substitution and cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki and Buchwald-Hartwig amination, for creating complex aromatic structures.
