2-Bromoanisole

2-Bromoanisole is an organobromide with the formula BrC6H4OCH3.

A colorless liquid, it is one of three isomers of bromoanisole, the others being 3-bromoanisole and 4-bromoanisole.

It is a standard coupling partner in metal catalyzed coupling reactions.

These reactions include Heck reactions, Buchwald-Hartwig coupling,[1] Suzuki couplings, and Ullmann condensations.
