2-Bromo-3-methylthiophene

China [CN]

Physical and Chemical Properties:

Appearance: Colorless, transparent or pale yellow liquid.

Density: 1.572 g/mL (25°C).

Boiling Point: 173-176°C.

Refractive Index: 1.572 (20°C).

Flash Point: 68.3°C.

Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents.

Chemical Properties: The bromine atom in its molecule is highly reactive and can be substituted by nucleophiles to form a series of thiophene derivatives. It can also participate in coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon or carbon-heterobond bonds, useful in the synthesis of more complex organic compounds.

Main Uses: Primarily used as an organic synthesis intermediate for the synthesis of thiophene-containing compounds such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, polymers, and dyes.

Safety Information: This substance is flammable, acutely toxic, and can cause severe damage/irritation to the eyes. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when handling, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and keep away from sources of fire and heat.
