4-Bromo-3-((dimethylamino)methyl)benzoic acid

Basic information:

Molecular formula: C₉H₁₀BrNO₂.

Molecular weight: 244.088.

Physical and chemical properties: Usually solid, the specific appearance may be white to off-white powder or crystal (refer to similar structural compounds). Because the molecule contains bromine atoms, carboxyl groups and dimethylamino groups, it has a certain polarity and is expected to be soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide, and slightly soluble in water.

Uses: It can be used as an organic synthesis intermediate to prepare a variety of compounds with biological activity or special functions. Its bromine atoms, carboxyl groups and dimethylamino groups are all reactive, and new chemical bonds can be constructed through substitution reactions, condensation reactions, etc., to synthesize drugs, pesticides or functional materials, etc. For example, in the field of medicine, it may be used to synthesize drugs with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
