3-Bromobenzoic acid (m-Bromobenzoic acid) is an important aromatic carboxylic acid derivative widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis and organic transformations. This compound exhibits a melting point of 155-157°C (lit.) and boiling point of 280.5±23.0°C at 760 mmHg. With a density of 1.72±0.1 g/cm³ and pKa of 4.00±0.10, it serves as a versatile intermediate for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), liquid crystals, and bioactive molecules. The material should be stored in sealed containers at room temperature, protected from moisture. Safety precautions include wearing protective gloves/eyewear due to potential skin/eye irritation (GHS Category 2). Its bromine and carboxyl groups enable diverse coupling reactions and functional group transformations.
