2-Amino-5-bromophenol CAS 38191-34-3

1. Acts as a key intermediate for synthesizing brominated aromatic pharmaceuticals with antibacterial and antifungal activities.
2. Serves 2-Amino-5-bromophenol CAS 38191-34-3 as a building block in organic synthesis for preparing functionalized phenol derivatives and heterocyclic compounds.
3. Functions as a coupling reagent in the production of agrochemicals, including selective herbicides and plant growth regulators.

1. Store in sealed amber glass containers at 15-25℃ in a dark, dry area away from direct sunlight and oxidizing agents.
2. Keep 2-Amino-5-bromophenol separated from strong acids and bases to prevent amino group protonation and phenol group degradation reactions.
3. Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a dust mask during handling to avoid skin contact and dust inhalation.

1. The amino, bromo, and phenol functional groups enable multi-site derivatization for custom synthesis of target molecules.
2. Good 2-Amino-5-bromophenol solubility in polar organic solvents like ethanol and acetone simplifies reaction setup and product purification.
3. High structural stability ensures consistent reactivity in substitution and cross-coupling reactions for industrial applications.

- GHS Classification: Irritant (GHS07, Xi), harmful if swallowed (H302), skin irritant (H315), serious eye irritant (H319), respiratory irritant (H335).
- Skin 2-Amino-5-bromophenol contact may cause redness, itching, and localized burns; inhalation of dust can lead to throat and lung irritation.
- Incompatible with strong oxidizers, concentrated acids, and reducing agents, which may trigger exothermic decomposition and release toxic fumes.
- UN Number: Not listed as a hazardous substance for general transport; classified as a non-dangerous good under normal storage conditions.
