1-(2-Bromo-5-methylphenyl)ethanone, with the CAS number 77344-70-8, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group and a brominated aromatic ring. This compound features a bromo substituent at the 2-position and a methyl group at the 5-position of a phenyl ring, which influences its reactivity and physical properties. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. The presence of the bromine atom enhances its electrophilic character, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions. The compound is likely to be soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and dichloromethane, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as brominated compounds can be hazardous. Overall, 1-(2-Bromo-5-methylphenyl)ethanone serves as a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical applications.
