4-Bromomandelic acid, with the CAS number 7021-04-7, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a bromine atom and a carboxylic acid functional group attached to a mandelic acid structure. It typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid. This compound is known for its role in organic synthesis and can serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The bromine substituent enhances its reactivity, making it useful in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. 4-Bromomandelic acid is soluble in polar solvents, such as water and alcohols, due to the presence of the carboxylic acid group, which can form hydrogen bonds. Its melting point and boiling point can vary based on purity and specific conditions. As with many brominated compounds, it is important to handle 4-bromomandelic acid with care, as brominated substances can exhibit toxicity and environmental persistence. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with this compound in a laboratory setting.
