2-(3-Bromo-2-methylphenyl)acetonitrile(CAT: L022198) is an organic compound consisting of a brominated and methyl-substituted phenyl ring attached to an acetonitrile group (-CH2CN). The bromine atom at the 3-position and the methyl group at the 2-position on the phenyl ring influence the electronic properties and sterics of the molecule, making it useful as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The nitrile group can act as a reactive site for further functionalization, such as in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or advanced materials. This compound is often employed in cross-coupling reactions or as a precursor for the development of more complex bioactive molecules.
