1,2-Dibromoethane

Description:
1,2-Dibromoethane, also known as ethylene dibromide, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C2H4Br2. It is a colorless, dense liquid with a sweet odor, and it is primarily used as a solvent and in the synthesis of other chemicals. The compound is characterized by its two bromine atoms attached to adjacent carbon atoms in the ethane backbone, which contributes to its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions. 1,2-Dibromoethane is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is classified as a hazardous substance due to its potential health effects, including being a suspected carcinogen and having harmful effects on the central nervous system. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when handling this compound. Additionally, 1,2-dibromoethane has been used historically as a fumigant and in leaded gasoline, although its use has declined due to environmental and health concerns.
