Overview of 4-Bromo-o-Xylene

4-Bromo-oxylene (CAS 611-20-1) is a brominated hydrocarbon used extensively in the fields of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, pigments, dyes, as well as speciality organic syntheses. It is typically an opaque to light yellow liquid. It is also known for its electrophilic reactivity, which is strong because of the presence of bromine and methyl substituents within the aromatic ring.

The compound is an important intermediate for the production of high-quality chemicals and active components as well as industrial intermediates. Reactivity that is controlled allows it to be used in the coupling of reactions with halogen exchange, Grignard creation, and customised chemical synthesis.
