  2. Benzyl bromide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzyl_bromide

    Benzyl bromide is a strong lachrymator and is also intensely irritating to skin and mucous membranes. Because of these properties, it has been used in chemical warfare , both in combat and in training due to its irritating yet non-lethal nature.

    Brominated vegetable oil (BVO) is a complex mixture of plant-derived triglycerides that have been modified by atoms of the element bromine bonded to the fat molecules. . Brominated vegetable oil has been used to help emulsify citrus-flavored beverages, especially soft drinks, preventing them from separating during dist

    Benzyl group and derivatives: Benzyl group, benzyl radical, benzyl amine, benzyl bromide, benzyl chloroformate, and benzyl methyl ether. R = heteroatom, alkyl, aryl, allyl etc. or other substituents. In organic chemistry, benzyl is the substituent or molecular fragment possessing the structure R−CH 2 −C 6 H 5.

  6. Bromine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine

    Potassium bromide and sodium bromide were used as anticonvulsants and sedatives in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but were gradually superseded by chloral hydrate and then by the barbiturates. [30] In the early years of the First World War, bromine compounds such as xylyl bromide were used as poison gas. [31]

    Anet and Leblanc also in 1957 prepared a benzyl chromium solution from benzyl bromide and chromium(II) perchlorate. [8] This reaction involves one-electron oxidative addition of the carbon-bromine bond , a process which was shown by Kochi [ 9 ] [ 10 ] to be a case of double single electron transfer , first to give the benzyl free radical and ...

    Silver bromide (AgBr). Nearly all elements in the periodic table form binary bromides. The exceptions are decidedly in the minority and stem in each case from one of three causes: extreme inertness and reluctance to participate in chemical reactions (the noble gases, with the exception of xenon in the very unstable XeBr 2; extreme nuclear instability hampering chemical investigation before ...

  9. Bromide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromide

    Bromide salts are used in hot tubs as mild germicidal agents to generate in situ hypobromite. The bromide ion is antiepileptic and as bromide salt, is used in veterinary medicine in the US. The kidneys excrete bromide ions. The half-life of bromide in the human body (12 days) is long compared with many pharmaceuticals, making dosing challenging ...
