Overview
2-Bromo-3-methylaniline (CAS 104-87-8, C7H8BrN) is a brominated aromatic amine synthesized via nitration of m-toluidine followed by reduction and diazotization-bromination. It serves as a critical intermediate in fine chemical manufacturing.
Application
- Synthesis of pharmaceutical active ingredients including anti-inflammatory agents.
- Production of specialized agrochemical pesticides and herbicides.
- Manufacturing of high-performance dyes and organic pigments.
- Preparation of ligands for catalytic asymmetric reactions.
Precautions
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from oxidizers. Use appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles; avoid inhalation of dust or vapors due to potential toxicity and skin irritation hazards.
