Bromobenzene is an aryl bromide and the simplest of the bromobenzenes, consisting of a benzene ring substituted with one bromine atom. Its chemical formula is C 6 H 5 Br . It is a colourless liquid although older samples can appear yellow.
Hexabromobenzene is a white powder in physical form. It's not soluble in water but is soluble in ethanol, ether, and benzene. Molecular weight is 551.7 g/mol. Melting point of 327 °C. Whiteness percent of 93.0. Its bromine content is above 86%, and it represents high efficacy. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.

Benzyl bromide is used in organic synthesis for the introduction of the benzyl groups when the less expensive benzyl chloride is insufficiently reactive. [6] [7] Benzylations are often achieved in the presence of catalytic amounts of sodium iodide, which generates the more reactive benzyl iodide in situ. [3]
Bromoform was discovered in 1832 by Löwig who distilled a mixture of bromal and potassium hydroxide, as analogous to preparation of chloroform from chloral. [5]Bromoform can be prepared by the haloform reaction using acetone and sodium hypobromite, by the electrolysis of potassium bromide in ethanol, or by treating chloroform with aluminium bromide.
