4-Bromobenzaldehyde may be prepared in the laboratory in two steps by oxidation 4-bromotoluene. [4] In the first step, two bromine atoms are added to the methyl group of 4-bromotoluene by free radical bromination to form 4-bromobenzal bromide.
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.
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]
Hazardous chemicals present physical and/or health threats to workers in clinical, industrial, and academic laboratories. Laboratory chemicals include cancer-causing agents (carcinogens), toxins (e.g., those affecting the liver, kidney, and nervous system), irritants, corrosives, sensitizers, as well as agents that act on the blood system or damage the lungs, skin, eyes, or mucous membranes.
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.
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
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]
Phenylmagnesium bromide is prepared by reaction of bromobenzene with magnesium metal. Phenylmagnesium bromide is commercially available as solutions of diethyl ether or THF. Laboratory preparation involves treating bromobenzene with magnesium metal, usually in the form of turnings.
