Application
4-Bromoaniline, presented as gray-brown crystals with a distinctive odor, serves as a crucial building block in the synthesis of pharmaceutical and organic compounds. It plays a vital role in the preparation of azo dyes and is utilized in reactions with formaldehyde to create dihydroquinazolines. Additionally, this compound acts as an intermediary in producing chemicals like metobromuron, a herbicide, and resorantel, an antiparasitic agent. Composed of a hydrophobic benzene ring and an amino group, 4-bromoaniline functions as a mild base when dissolved in water, and its structure enhances the stability of PSCs while aiding the transport of substances. Notably, care must be taken during its handling, as heating or combustion can release harmful fumes containing hydrogen bromide and nitrogen oxides.
