CAS 13209-15-9: α,α,α′,α′-Tetrabromo-o-xylene

Description: α,α,α′,α′-Tetrabromo-o-xylene is a brominated aromatic compound characterized by the presence of four bromine atoms attached to an o-xylene backbone. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is known for its high density and low solubility in water, making it more soluble in organic solvents. The presence of multiple bromine substituents significantly enhances its reactivity and stability, which can be advantageous in various chemical applications, including as a flame retardant or in the synthesis of other brominated compounds. Its molecular structure contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties, such as increased hydrophobicity and potential for forming stable complexes with metals. Due to its brominated nature, it may also exhibit environmental persistence and bioaccumulation potential, raising concerns regarding its ecological impact. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as brominated compounds can pose health risks, including toxicity and potential carcinogenic effects.
