Marzin, Adolf published an article in 1933, the title of the article was 2,5-Dibromotoluic acid.Computed Properties of 90326-61-7 And the article contains the following content:
2,5,4-Br2MeC6H2CO2H, m. 195°, NaOH and MeOH, refluxed 8 days, give 45-50% of 5-bromo-2-methoxy-p-toluic acid (I), m. 130-3°; with HI there is a quant. yield of 5-bromo-4-methylsalicylic acid, m. 205-8°. Oxidation of I with alk. KMnO4 gives 5-bromo-2-methoxyterephthalic acid, m. 265-8°; HI gives the 2-HO derivative, pale yellow, which gives a deep blue-red color with FeCl3. 2,5-Dibromoterephthalic acid and AcONa give about 90% of the 2,5-di-HO derivative, m. above 300°. The experimental process involved the reaction of 5-Bromo-2-methoxy-4-methylbenzoic acid(cas: 90326-61-7).Computed Properties of 90326-61-7
5-Bromo-2-methoxy-4-methylbenzoic acid(cas:90326-61-7) belongs to organobromine compounds. Most organobromine compounds, like most organohalide compounds, are relatively nonpolar. Bromine is more electronegative than carbon (2.9 vs 2.5). Consequently, the carbon in a carbon–bromine bond is electrophilic, i.e. alkyl bromides are alkylating agents.
