2-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)aniline
2-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (CAS: 57946-63-1; Formula: BrC6H3(CF3)NH2; MW: 240.02) is a halogenated aromatic amine. This chemical compound serves as a valuable intermediate and building block in organic synthesis, particularly within the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. Its structure, featuring both a bromine atom and a trifluoromethyl group on an aniline core, allows for diverse chemical modifications and applications in creating complex molecules.

Pharmaceutical Intermediate
Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The presence of the trifluoromethyl group can enhance lipophilicity and metabolic stability of drug candidates.
Agrochemical Synthesis
Serves as a precursor for the development of new pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. Its unique functional groups enable the creation of compounds with specific biological activities.
Organic Building Block
A versatile synthon in academic and industrial research for constructing complex organic molecules. It is employed in reactions like Suzuki couplings, Buchwald-Hartwig aminations, and other cross-coupling methodologies.
Material Science
Potential applications in the development of novel functional materials due to its specific electronic and structural properties conferred by the bromine and trifluoromethyl substituents.
