Methyl 3-(4-bromomethyl)cinnamate CAS 946-99-6

1. Acts Methyl 3-(4-bromomethyl)cinnamate CAS 946-99-6 as a key intermediate for synthesizing pharmaceuticals, especially anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor drug candidates via substitution reactions.

2. Serves Methyl 3-(4-bromomethyl)cinnamate as a building block in organic synthesis for preparing functionalized aromatic compounds and heterocyclic molecules in lab research.

3. Functions as a monomer for producing specialty polymers with enhanced adhesion and thermal stability in industrial coating manufacturing.

Store methyl 3-(4-bromomethyl)cinnamate (CAS 13395-24-7, white crystalline solid, faint aromatic odor, flash point ~190°C, combustible) in sealed amber glass containers at 15–25°C in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Isolate from strong oxidants, bases and active metals to prevent decomposition and bromide release. Wear nitrile gloves and safety goggles; avoid dust inhalation, skin/eye contact and ingestion to prevent mild irritation. Reseal tightly post-use; dispose of waste per local chemical regulations.

Methyl 3-(4-bromomethyl)cinnamate is a pharmaceutical intermediate, organic synthesis reagent and polymer monomer, not for direct human ingestion in pure form; undiluted intake may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, mucosal irritation and systemic toxicity.

In regulated applications, Methyl 3-(4-bromomethyl)cinnamate CAS 946-99-6 supports the development of high-efficiency medicinal products, enables advanced organic chemistry research, and facilitates the production of high-performance industrial coatings.
