INTRODUCTION
2-Bromonitrobenzene is an aromatic compound and a pale-yellow powder that easily absorbs moisture. By virtue of its rather low melting point, it may appear as semi-liquid under high ambient temperatures. The nitro-group containing haloaromatic has numerous end-uses in pharmaceuticals, value-added intermediates, and other industry verticals.
Manufacture
Its production involves 2 steps: |
---|
First, 2-nitroaniline is diazotized in presence of cuprous bromide. |
In the second step, excess copper salt is removed to yield 2-bromonitrobenzene. |
Synonyms | 2-Nitrobromobenzene 2-Nitrophenyl bromide |
CAS no. | 577-19-5 |
