1,4-Dibromo-2-methoxybenzene, also known as 2-methoxy-1,4-dibromobenzene, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with two bromine atoms and one methoxy group. The bromine atoms are positioned at the 1 and 4 positions of the benzene ring, while the methoxy group (-OCH3) is located at the 2 position, leading to a specific arrangement of substituents that influences its chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. It exhibits moderate reactivity due to the presence of the bromine atoms, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, the methoxy group can influence the compound's reactivity and polarity. 1,4-Dibromo-2-methoxybenzene is used in various chemical syntheses and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact.

1,4-Dibromo-2-methoxybenzene is a nontraditional electrophile that reacts with nucleophiles to form products. It has been shown to react with butyllithium in an electronically controlled reaction. The reaction proceeds in a broad temperature range and is highly selective for electron-deficient olefins. This electrophile has also been used to synthesize bifunctional molecules, which are important in the design of new organic devices such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). 1,4-Dibromo-2-methoxybenzene can be activated by trimethylsilyloxy groups and introduced into the molecule using a bifunctional reagent.
