2-Bromophenol is a sodium salt that can be prepared by the reaction of sodium hydroxide with 2-bromoaniline. It is an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, which has been shown to be effective in treating Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. 2-Bromophenol has been shown to inhibit the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in human serum and mitochondrial membrane potential, as well as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It also inhibits the formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonds during the catalytic cycle of acetylcholinesterase.

2-Bromophenol used as a disinfection byproduct found in chlorinated pool water. Used in the preparation of anti-benzofurobenzofuran diimides. It was also used to study the photodegradation of 2-bromophenol using UV-Vis spectroscopy and HPLC.
