Methyl 3-bromobenzoate is an aryl bromide. It undergoes stereoconvergent cross-coupling with potassium trifluoro(1-phenylethyl)borate to form 1,1-diarylethane derivative.The Negishi cross-coupling reaction between methyl 3-bromobenzoate and diarylzinc reagents in the presence of a palladium catalyst has been reported.
M 2603 (OTTO) Methyl 3-bromobenzoate, 98% Cas 618-89-3 - used in the synthesis of tetrahydro dibenzazocine, which acts as an inhibitor of 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3. Further, it is used to prepare 3-tert-butylphosphanyl-benzoic acid methyl ester by reacting with tert-butyltrimethylsilylphosphine.
