4-Methoxy-3-nitrobenzyl bromide is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a nitro group (-NO2) attached to a benzyl moiety. The presence of the bromine atom in the benzyl position contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis applications, particularly in the field of medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis. This compound typically appears as a solid or liquid, depending on the specific conditions, and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents. Its molecular structure allows for electrophilic substitution reactions, and it can serve as a precursor for the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks due to the presence of the nitro group, which can be toxic and potentially carcinogenic. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate environmental and health hazards associated with its use.

4-Methoxy-3-nitrobenzylbromide is a benzyl mercaptan that undergoes stereoselective hydrothiolation reactions. It has been shown to be an efficient method for the synthesis of an anti-cancer agent, rigosertib. Rigosertib inhibits the growth of cancer cells and induces apoptosis by inhibiting the activity of protein kinase C delta (PKCδ). Rigosertib has also been shown to inhibit the activity of arylacetylene synthase, which is involved in the biosynthesis of phenols.
