1-Bromo-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzene

1-Bromo-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzene (CAS 22385-77-9), also known as 3,5-Di-tert-butylbromobenzene or 3,5-Bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)bromobenzene, is a high-purity sterically-hindered brominated aromatic intermediate widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis, organic chemistry research, polymer chemistry, and fine chemical manufacturing. This compound features two tert-butyl groups at the meta-positions and a bromine substituent on the benzene ring, 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 functional group transformations, it exhibits excellent reactivity in Suzuki coupling, Heck reaction, Grignard formation, and radical substitution pathways. Our product is manufactured under strict quality control standards, ensuring a purity of ≥98%, making it ideal for pharmaceutical manufacturing, medicinal chemistry research, ligand synthesis, and scale-up production. This compound is particularly valuable in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals containing sterically-hindered aromatic scaffolds, polymer stabilizer precursors, agrochemical intermediates, and specialty chemical precursors. As a reliable benzene derivative intermediate, it serves as an important precursor for constructing bulky brominated aromatic systems in drug discovery and fine chemical development programs.
