1,1-Dibromoethane is a clear, slightly brown, flammable chemical compound. [3] It is classified as the organobromine compound, and has the chemical formula C 2 H 4 Br 2 [4] and it is a position isomer of 1,2-dibromoethane. It is commonly seen in industrial chemistry, where it is used as a fuel additive. [5]
Dibromoethane can refer to either of two isomeric organobromides with the molecular formula C 2 H 4 Br 2: 1,1-Dibromoethane (ethylidene dibromide) 1,2-Dibromoethane (ethylene dibromide)
1,2-Dibromoethane has wider applications in the preparation of other organic compounds including those carrying modified diazocine rings [9] and vinyl bromide that is a precursor to some fire retardants. [4] In organic synthesis, 1,2-dibromoethane is used to brominate carbanions and to activate magnesium for certain Grignard reagents.
The preparation of EtBr stands as a model for the synthesis of bromoalkanes in general. It is usually prepared by the addition of hydrogen bromide to ethene: . H 2 C=CH 2 + HBr → H 3 C-CH 2 Br
The molecular formula C 2 H 4 Br 2 (molar mass: 187.86 g/mol, exact mass: 185.8680 u) may refer to: 1,1-Dibromoethane (ethylidene dibromide) 1,2-Dibromoethane , or ethylene dibromide (EDB)
Grignard reagents or Grignard compounds are chemical compounds with the general formula R−Mg−X, where X is a halogen and R is an organic group, normally an alkyl or aryl. Two typical examples are methylmagnesium chloride Cl−Mg−CH 3 and phenylmagnesium bromide (C 6 H 5 )−Mg−Br .
1,1,2,2-Tetrabromoethane, or simply tetrabromoethane (TBE), is a halogenated hydrocarbon, chemical formula C 2 H 2 Br 4.Although three bromine atoms may bind to one of the carbon atoms creating 1,1,1,2-tetrabromoethane this is not thermodynamically favorable, so in practice tetrabromoethane is equal to 1,1,2,2-tetrabromoethane, where each carbon atom binds two bromine atoms.
Key in this treatment is the introduction of 1,3-repulsive and destabilizing interactions and this type of steric hindrance should exist considering the molecular geometry of simple alkanes. In methane the distance between the hydrogen atoms is 1.8 angstrom but the combined van der Waals radii of hydrogen are 2.4 angstrom implying steric ...
