General description

4-Bromo-2-methylanisole can be prepared by the bromination of o-methylanisole (2-methylanisole). It can also be prepared via reaction between 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tribromide [(Bmim)Br3] and an activated aromatic compound. It participates as a substrate for the a-arylation of sulphonamide in a study.

Application

4-Bromo-2-methylanisole may be used in the synthesis of 4-isopropyl-2-methylphenol and 4-methoxy-3-methylphenol.
