2-Bromomesitylene is a useful synthetic intermediate, Aromatics, Boron Derivatives, Catalyst. It is an intermediate used to prepare Hydrogen[4-[bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)phosphino]-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl]hydrobis(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl)borate (H714510) which is a frustrated phosphonium borate for metal-free catalytic hydrogenation of imines.
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.

In the presence of Pd catalysts and a base, aryl bromides can act as oxidizing agents for conversion of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones under mild conditions. While bromobenzene is effective for saturated secondary alcohols: Tetrahedron Lett., 1401 (1979), for unsaturated alcohols, arylation competes and 2-bromomesitylene was found to give superior results: Tetrahedron Lett., 22, 1801 (1981); J. Org. Chem., 48, 1286 (1983). See also: J. Org. Chem., 61, 2918 (1996), for a combined desilylation-oxidation technique.
