2,4-Dibromoaniline is an important halogenated aniline derivative widely used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. This compound exhibits a melting point of 87-88°C and boiling point of 262-264°C (lit.), with a density of 2.26 g/cm³ at 20°C. It is soluble in organic solvents like chloroform, benzene, and ethanol but insoluble in water. The material should be stored in sealed containers away from light and moisture. Safety precautions are essential as it may cause skin/eye irritation (GHS Category 2) and forms methemoglobin in blood. Its bromine substitution pattern makes it valuable for Suzuki coupling reactions and heterocyclic compound synthesis.
