The Use of 4-Bromophenol in Agrochemical Formulations

Understanding 4-Bromophenol: A Key Intermediate in Chemical Synthesis

4-Bromophenol (CAS No. 106-41-2) is a versatile aromatic compound widely used in organic synthesis. With a molecular formula of C₆H₄BrOH, it consists of a bromine atom and a hydroxyl group positioned para (opposite) to each other on a benzene ring. This structural arrangement makes it highly reactive and valuable in a range of industrial applications.

Applications of 4-Bromophenol
