Applications
2-Bromotoluene was used in the synthesis of (±)-isocomene. Suzuki coupling of 2-bromotoluene with phenylboronic acid using palladium nanoparticles supported on alumina-based oxides as catalyst has been reported. 2-Bromotoluene is used in manufacturing pharmaceuticals (especially for nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs; Meclofenamic acid, Mefenamic acid) and other organic compounds
