General Description

Methyl 3,5-dibromo-4-methylbenzoate is a type of organic compound that belongs to the esters class, which are compounds derived from carboxylic acids and alcohols. This specific chemical is characterized by the presence of bromine atoms substituted at the 3 and 5 positions of the benzene ring, with a methyl group and a benzoate group at the 4th position. Though the detailed properties and uses of this chemical are not widely chronicled, it might be utilized in the synthesis of other more complex chemicals in the field of chemistry and may undergo reactions typical of esters and brominated aromatic compounds. Its structural formula is C9H8Br2O2. Due to its bromine constituent, contact with this chemical may cause mild to severe irritation to the skin and eyes and may be harmful if swallowed or inhaled, hence should be handled with appropriate safety measures.
