4-Bromoaniline

4-Bromoaniline is an organic compound that features a bromine atom attached to the benzene ring in the para (4-) position relative to the amino group (-NH₂). This compound is an important building block in organic synthesis, especially in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. It appears as an off-white to light brown solid and has a characteristic aromatic amine odor.

Applications:

• Intermediate in Organic Synthesis: Widely used as a precursor in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes.
• Dye Manufacturing: An important starting material for the production of azo dyes and other colorants.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used in the preparation of several active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and as a reagent in research and development.
• Agrochemicals: Employed in the synthesis of certain herbicides and insecticides.

Handling and Storage:

• Handling: Handle with caution, avoiding direct contact with skin and eyes. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing. Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to prevent inhalation of dust or vapors. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances, such as strong oxidizing agents. Keep the container tightly closed and protected from physical damage, moisture, and light to prevent degradation. Store away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
• Spill and Disposal: In the event of a spill, avoid creating dust. Sweep up the material and place it in a suitable container for disposal according to local, regional, or international regulations. Avoid release into the environment and follow all safety guidelines for disposal.
