2-Bromo-4-chloroanisole is an important halogenated aromatic ether used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. This compound has a boiling point of 238.5°C at 760 mmHg and melting point of 28.6-29.1°C, with a density of 1.625 g/cm³ and refractive index of 1.5850-1.5890. It is slightly soluble in chloroform and ethyl acetate. The material should be stored sealed in dry conditions at room temperature. Safety precautions include wearing protective equipment due to its irritating properties (GHS Category 2). Its molecular structure with bromo and chloro substituents makes it valuable for cross-coupling reactions in organic synthesis.
