2-Bromonitrobenzene (o-Bromonitrobenzene) is an important halogenated nitroaromatic compound widely used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. This compound exhibits a melting point of 40-43°C (lit.) and boiling point of 261°C at 760 mmHg. With a density of 1.902 g/cm³ and refractive index of 1.597, it serves as a versatile building block for Suzuki coupling reactions and other transition metal-catalyzed transformations. The material should be stored in tightly closed containers at room temperature, protected from light. Safety precautions include wearing protective gloves/eyewear due to its irritating properties (GHS Category 2) and potential toxicity if ingested or inhaled.
