1-Bromo-2-nitrobenzene is used in organic synthesis. It also can react with 2-methylamino-benzoic acid to get N-methyl-N-(2-nitro-phenyl)-anthranilic acid. And it is also used in the preparation of 4-methoxy-2?-nitrodiphenyl ether, 1-methoxy-3,5-bis-(2-nitro-phenoxy)benzene.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
Applications
