Description

5-Bromo-2-Methoxy-3-Nitrobenzoic Acid is a high-purity, multi-functional aromatic building block essential for advanced organic synthesis. This compound matters for its role as a key intermediate in the development of complex molecules, offering precise bromo, methoxy, and nitro substitution patterns for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. It is primarily needed by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for creating novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for molecules targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders and anti-inflammatory agents.
• Agrochemical Research: Serves as a building block for developing new herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, leveraging its nitro and halogen functionalities.
• Material Science & Dye Chemistry: Used in the synthesis of advanced organic materials, liquid crystals, and complex dye molecules due to its electron-withdrawing nitro group and aromatic core.
• Academic & Contract Research: A valuable reagent for methodological development, catalysis studies, and exploring new chemical spaces in university and CRO laboratories.
• Custom Synthesis & Scale-Up: An ideal starting material for custom synthesis projects requiring gram to kilogram quantities for pilot plant and commercial-scale production.

Quality Control

Our 5-Bromo-2-Methoxy-3-Nitrobenzoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatograms and spectral data are provided to guarantee traceability, consistency, and compliance with your project specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability, especially after opening the primary container. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
