Product Overview
2,4-Dimethylbromobenzene (CAS 583-70-0) is a high-purity aryl halide widely employed as a key building block in complex organic synthesis. This compound, also known as 1-bromo-2,4-dimethylbenzene or 4-bromo-1,3-dimethylbenzene, features a bromine atom strategically positioned on a dimethyl-substituted benzene ring, enabling selective cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Stille, and Negishi protocols. Its structural profile makes it particularly valuable in the construction of biaryl motifs found in active pharmaceutical ingredients, agrochemicals, and specialty materials.
