2,6-Dibromo-4-methylaniline CAS:6968-24-7

2,6-Dibromo-4-methylaniline is mainly used as a chemical intermediate in industrial organic synthesis. It can react with other aromatic compounds through electrophilic aromatic substitution to introduce bromine atoms to the product molecules. In particular, 2,6-dibromo-4-methylaniline is often employed as a starting material to synthesize complex heterocyclic compounds that exhibit biological activities, such as certain pharmaceutical drugs, agrochemicals and materials used in organic electroluminescent devices. The bromine substituents on the benzene ring make the compound highly reactive, allowing it to take part in cross-coupling reactions like the Suzuki reaction and form C-C bonds selectively under mild conditions.
