Product Description

Product Introduction

3-Bromobenzoic acid (CAS 585-76-2), or m-Bromobenzoic acid, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C7H5BrO2. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder. As a meta-substituted benzoic acid derivative, it offers a specific substitution pattern highly valued in the synthesis of complex molecules. 3-Bromobenzoic acid (CAS 585-76-2) serves as a critical intermediate in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and electronics industries, particularly in reactions involving the carboxylic acid group or the reactive bromine atom.

Applications

Pharmaceutical Synthesis Acts as a core intermediate for the development of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), including anti-tumor agents, CNS-acting drugs, and enzyme inhibitors.

Liquid Crystal Materials Used in the synthesis of high-performance liquid crystals and OLED intermediates, where the meta-substitution influences the material’s phase behavior and optical properties.

Agrochemicals Utilized as a precursor for the manufacture of specialized herbicides and plant growth regulators.

Organic Synthesis Reagent A standard starting material for the synthesis of 3-substituted benzoic acid derivatives via various substitution or coupling reactions.


Packaging

Standard industrial packaging options for 3-Bromobenzoic acid include:

  • 25kg fiber drums with double-layer PE moisture-proof inner bags (Standard export packaging).

  • 500kg or 1000kg bulk bags (Super Sacks) for high-volume industrial use.

  • Vacuum packaging or nitrogen-sealed bags are available for high-purity laboratory requirements.


Storage

3-Bromobenzoic acid is a stable solid. It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep containers tightly sealed and protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Store away from strong oxidizing agents and strong bases. Properly stored in its original, unopened container, it has a shelf life of 24-36 months.
