Gentaur 2-Bromo-5-methoxytoluene -1kg

2-Bromo-5-methoxytoluene is a synthetic organic compound that is used as a chemical intermediate for cellulose derivatives. It is generated by the Friedel-Crafts reaction of bromine with toluene in the presence of aluminum chloride. 2-Bromo-5-methoxytoluene has been shown to react with cellulose derivatives and other hydrogen bond acceptors. This reaction is followed by protonation, which yields a chromophore that changes color from yellow to orange. The mechanism of this reaction can be explained by an acid catalysis mechanism, which begins with protonation of the carbonyl group (C=O) and formyl group (HC=O) groups. This causes the formation of an enolate ion, which reacts with a protonated carbonyl group to yield a formyl cation and an enolate ion. The formyl cation then reacts with another proton
