2,4,6-Tribromophenol (TBP) is a brominated derivative of phenol. It is used as a fungicide , as a wood preservative, and an intermediate in the preparation of flame retardants . Production
A bromophenol is an organic compound consisting of hydroxyl groups and bromine atoms bonded to a benzene ring. They may be viewed as hydroxyl derivatives of bromobenzene, or as brominated derivatives of phenol. There are five basic types of bromophenols (mono- to pentabromophenol) and 19 different bromophenols in total when positional isomerism ...
Properties. 2,4,6-Tri- tert -butylphenol is a white solid which dissolves in many organic solvents, but not in aqueous or alcoholic alkaline solutions. The green-blue coloring with iron (III)chloride, which is characteristic for phenols, does not occur in 2,4,6-TTBP. The compound is oxidizable in air but practically non-biodegradable.
The formation of a brominated phenol (i.e. 2,4,6-tribromophenol) or aniline (i.e. 2,4,6-tribromoaniline) in form of a white precipitate indicates that the unknown was a phenol or aniline. The more unsaturated an unknown is, the more bromine it reacts with, and the less coloured the solution will appear.
Hydrogen bromide prepared by the above methods can be contaminated with Br 2, which can be removed by passing the gas through a solution of phenol at room temperature in tetrachloromethane or other suitable solvent (producing 2,4,6-tribromophenol and generating more HBr in the process) or through copper turnings or copper gauze at high ...
2,4,6-Trichlorophenol, also known as TCP, phenaclor, Dowicide 2S, Dowcide 2S, omal, is a chlorinated phenol that has been used as a fungicide, herbicide, insecticide, antiseptic, [3] defoliant, and glue preservative. [4] It is a clear to yellowish crystalline solid with a strong, phenolic odor. It decomposes on heating to produce toxic and ...
The regiochemistry of halogenation changes in strongly acidic solutions where PhOH 2] + predominates. Phenol reacts with dilute nitric acid at room temperature to give a mixture of 2-nitrophenol and 4-nitrophenol while with concentrated nitric acid, additional nitro groups are introduced, e.g. to give 2,4,6-trinitrophenol.
Infobox references. 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. It can be found in minute traces on packaging materials stored in the presence ...
