4-Bromo-2-methylbiphenyl, with the CAS number 5002-26-6, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of biphenyl derivatives. It features a biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond, with a bromine atom and a methyl group attached to the aromatic system. The presence of the bromine substituent typically imparts certain reactivity characteristics, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications. This compound is generally characterized by its moderate solubility in organic solvents and relatively low solubility in water, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. Its molecular structure contributes to its potential use in materials science, particularly in the development of organic semiconductors and as a building block in organic synthesis. Additionally, 4-Bromo-2-methylbiphenyl may exhibit specific physical properties such as melting and boiling points that are typical of similar aromatic compounds. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with many halogenated organic compounds, due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
