General description

Methyl 4-bromobenzoate is a para-substituted aryl bromide. Mol­ecules of methyl 4-bromobenzoate are almost planar. The compound is isostructural with methyl 4-iodo­benzoate. The Zeeman effect on the N.Q.R. (nuclear quadrupole resonance) of methyl 4-bromobenzoate on single crystals, has been investigated by the ′geometric method′.

Application

Methyl 4-bromobenzoate may be used in the following syntheses:
  • Three-carbon-bridged 5-substituted furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine and 6-substituted pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine analogs, employed as antifolates.
  • Methyl 4-tri-n-butylstannylbenzoate.
  • Methyl 4-(2-pyridyl)benzoate by cross coupling reaction with lithium 2-pyridyltriolborate.
  • Methyl 4-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-ylbenzoate by ligand-free Pd(OAc)2 catalyzed reaction with Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine.
  • Methyl (E)-4-[3-(2-methoxycarbonylvinyl)-thiophen-2-yl]acrylate by reacting with methyl (E)-3-(thiophen-3-y)lacrylate.
