m-Bromo Toluic acid

Accelerate your organic synthesis, pharmaceutical research, and material science projects with m-Bromo Toluic acid (CAS No.: 7697-26-9, CAT No.: SRCB-079), a high-purity aromatic carboxylic acid featuring a bromine atom at the meta (3-) position and a methyl group at the benzoic acid framework.

This compound, also known as 3-Bromo-4-methylbenzoic acid or 3-Bromotoluic acid, is widely used as a versatile building block in chemical synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and agrochemical development. With a molecular formula of C₈H₇BrO₂ and a molecular weight of 215.05 g/mol, m-Bromo Toluic acid typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder, providing excellent purity (≥98%) and thermal stability. It is valued for its ease of use in halogenation, coupling reactions, Suzuki–Miyaura cross-couplings, and as an intermediate in the preparation of more complex aromatic compounds.
