1-(2-broMo-6-Methoxy-phenyl)ethanone

1-(2-Bromo-6-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (CAS 380225-68-3) is a high-purity brominated methoxyacetophenone intermediate widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis, organic chemistry research, and fine chemical manufacturing. This compound features a bromine substituent at the ortho-position and a methoxy group at the adjacent position of the acetophenone structure, making it a versatile building block for the development of complex organic molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). As a key intermediate in cross-coupling reactions, nucleophilic substitution, and heterocyclic synthesis, it exhibits excellent reactivity in Suzuki coupling, Heck reaction, Friedel-Crafts acylation, and cyclization reactions. Our product is manufactured under strict quality control standards, ensuring a purity of ≥98%, making it ideal for pharmaceutical manufacturing, medicinal chemistry research, and scale-up production. This compound is particularly valuable in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals containing ortho-substituted aromatic structures, benzofuran derivatives, chromone-based APIs, and agrochemical intermediates. As a specialized benzene derivative intermediate, it serves as an important precursor for constructing methoxy-protected phenolic scaffolds in drug discovery programs.
