5-Bromo-m-xylene（Cat No.:R020834）is a brominated aromatic compound featuring a bromine atom at the 5-position of a meta-xylene core, which also contains two methyl substituents. It is widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty materials. The presence of both electron-donating methyl groups and an electron-withdrawing bromine atom allows for selective functionalization through cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Stille, and Heck. 5-Bromo-m-xylene serves as a versatile building block in organic chemistry for constructing complex aromatic frameworks and heterocyclic compounds.
