introduction | methyl 4-bromomethylbenzoate is an organic intermediate, which can be prepared from p-methylbenzoic acid through two routes. p-methylbenzoic acid can be first esterified to prepare methyl p-methylbenzoate, and then brominated to obtain methyl 4-bromomethylbenzoate or from p-methylbenzoic acid first brominated to obtain p-bromomethylbenzoic acid, and then esterified to obtain methyl 4-bromomethylbenzoate. |
