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.
4-Fluorobromobenzene is synthesized via bromination of fluorobenzene in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst such as iron(III) bromide or aluminium tribromide. [2]4-Bromofluorobenzene is regarded by the Toxic Substances Control Act as a high production volume chemical, that is, a chemical that 1 million pounds (about 500 tonnes) per year is either produced in or imported to the United States.
Hexabromobenzene finds extensive use as a fire retardant additive in a range of materials including plastics, paper, and electrical goods, where it serves as a top-tier flame retardant. With an impressive melting point of 327 °C and a high bromide content of 86%, HBB significantly enhances the fire safety of these materials. [12]
Bromobenzenes may be carboxylated into carboxylic acids using carbon monoxide.The reaction takes place in a two-phase mixture of p-xylene and water as solvent, in the presence of catalytic PdCl
1,2,4,5-Tetrabromobenzene is an aryl bromide and a four-substituted bromobenzene with the formula C 6 H 2 Br 4. It is one of three isomers of tetrabromobenzene. The compound is a white solid. 1,2,4,5-Tetrabromobenzene is an important metabolite of the flame retardant hexabromobenzene. [1]
Bromobenzene can be converted to benzoic acid by "carboxylation" of the intermediate phenylmagnesium bromide. [15] This synthesis offers a convenient exercise for students to carry out a Grignard reaction , an important class of carbon–carbon bond forming reaction in organic chemistry.
