Brominated Compound · 2 functional traits · cGMP compliant · Ships from USA in 2-3 days
2-Bromo-4-iodoanisole is a bromo-substituted intermediate prized for its reactivity in metal-catalyzed coupling. ChemContract Research supplies this simple-complexity compound in high purity from our Huntington Beach, California facility, ensuring consistent quality and reliable domestic delivery throughout the United States.
Aryl and alkyl bromides occupy a "Goldilocks zone" in cross-coupling — more reactive than chlorides yet more stable than iodides — making them the most commonly used coupling partners in process chemistry. The C–I bond is the weakest carbon–halogen bond, which translates to the highest reactivity in oxidative addition — making aryl iodides the first-choice substrate for challenging cross-coupling reactions.
Primary applications include grignard reagent preparation via magnesium insertion into c–br bond and sonogashira and heck coupling with the lowest activation barrier among aryl halides. This compound serves researchers and manufacturers across the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, agrochemical sectors. Whether you require 2-Bromo-4-iodoanisole for early-stage research, process development, or commercial-scale production, ChemContract Research offers flexible ordering from milligram to multi-kilogram quantities with custom synthesis options and full batch documentation including Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheets.
