2-Bromotoluene Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

liquid

Uses

2-Bromotoluene was used in the synthesis of (±)-isocomene. Suzuki coupling of 2-bromotoluene with phenylboronic acid using palladium nanoparticles supported on alumina-based oxides as catalyst has been reported. 2-Bromotoluene is used in manufacturing pharmaceuticals (especially for nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs; Meclofenamic acid, Mefenamic acid) and other organic compounds

General Description

Clear colorless to pale beige liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

2-Bromotoluene reacts with strong oxidizing agents.

Fire Hazard

2-Bromotoluene is combustible.

Purification Methods

Fractionally distil it through an efficient column. It can be separated from its isomers by gas chromatography on a column of “Sil-o-cel” firebrick (30-40mesh, 80 parts) coated with 5% (20 parts) of ICI E301 con rubber with N2 carrier gas at 170o/atm and 100mL/minute and using a conductivity cell detector.
