2,4,6-Tribromoaniline is a brominated derivative of aniline with the formula C 6 H 4 Br 3 N. It is used in organic synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and fire-extinguishing agents. It is used in organic synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and fire-extinguishing agents.
Brominating aniline with elemental bromine gives 2,4,6-tribromoaniline. This is then diazotized, then reacted with ethanol to replace the diazonium group with hydrogen, forming 1,3,5-tribromobenzene. [3] It has also been prepared by these methods: [3] replacement of the amino group of 3,5-dibromoaniline with bromine
The bromoanilines form a group of three isomers where the bromine atom occupies the para, ortho or meta position on the aromatic ring. Bromoaniline isomers Arene substitution patterns. The three isomers are: 2-Bromoaniline (o-Bromoaniline) [1] 3-Bromoaniline (m-Bromoaniline) [2] 4-Bromoaniline (p-Bromoaniline) [3]
Free-radical substitution with bromine is commonly used to prepare organobromine compounds. Carbonyl-containing, benzylic, allylic substrates are especially prone to this reactions. For example, the commercially significant bromoacetic acid is generated directly from acetic acid and bromine in the presence of phosphorus tribromide catalyst:
4-Bromoaniline is a compound where an aniline molecule is substituted with a bromine atom on the para position. Commercially available, this compound may be used as a building block, e.g. in the preparation of monobrominated biphenyl via the Gomberg-Bachmann reaction .
Industrially, it is mainly produced by the reaction of hydrogen gas with bromine gas at 200–400 °C with a platinum catalyst. However, reduction of bromine with red phosphorus is a more practical way to produce hydrogen bromide in the laboratory: [2] 2 P + 6 H 2 O + 3 Br 2 → 6 HBr + 2 H 3 PO 3 H 3 PO 3 + H 2 O + Br 2 → 2 HBr + H 3 PO 4
PBr 3 is prepared by treating red phosphorus with bromine. An excess of phosphorus is used in order to prevent formation of PBr 5: [1] [2] P 4 + 6 Br 2 → 4 PBr 3. Because the reaction is highly exothermic, it is often conducted in the presence of a diluent such as PBr 3. Phosphorus tribromide is also generated in situ from red phosphorus and ...
2,4,6-Tribromoanisole (TBA) is a chemical compound that is a brominated derivative of anisole.It is one of the chemicals responsible for cork taint. [2]Tribromoanisole is a fungal metabolite of 2,4,6-tribromophenol, which is used as a fungicide.
