2-Bromoanisole

2-Bromoanisole is an organobromide with the formula BrC6H4OCH3. A colorless liquid, it is one of three isomers of bromoanisole, the others being 3-bromoanisole and 4-bromoanisole. It is a standard coupling partner in metal catalyzed coupling reactions. These reactions include Heck reactions, Buchwald-Hartwig coupling, Suzuki couplings, and Ullmann condensations. The corresponding Grignard reagent readily forms. It is a precursor to o-anisaldehyde.
