Description
5-Bromo-2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, min. 95 %, is an aromatic carboxylic acid with CAS number 7355-22-8 and empirical formula C₇H₅BrO₄. It has a molar mass of 233,02 g/mol. The molecule combines a carboxylic acid, two phenolic hydroxyl groups, and a bromine substituent on the benzene ring, enabling selective functionalisation, cross-coupling, esterification, and protection strategies. This intermediate from manufacturer Carl ROTH is suited to medicinal-chemistry exploration, natural-product analogue work, and the preparation of more elaborate polyfunctional aromatics. The stated minimum purity of 95 % and clear molecular data support reproducible dosing and analytical tracking. Typical applications include building-block chemistry, ligand or probe synthesis, and stepwise elaboration of substituted salicylic acid frameworks where bromine provides a convenient handle for further transformation.

Questions about 5-Bromo-2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, min. 95 %, 50 g
What is this article?
5-Bromo-2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, min. 95 %, 50 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Acids, inside Acids & bases, in Lab chemicals.
An acid on this shelf is the substance itself, concentrated or as a stated solution: hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, acetic and the rest. Concentration, purity and the trace metals decide the use. A concentrated acid and a volumetric solution of the same name are different products, and both burn.
An acid donates a proton. A base accepts one. In the bottle, the practical differences are the concentration, the purity and the anion or cation that comes along. Concentrated mineral acids are a different article from a dilute volumetric solution. The water in the acid, and the trace metals, decide whether it can be used for analysis. Check the substance on PubChem and the classification on ECHA CLP. Transport is the UNECE dangerous-goods framework. The legal texts are the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
