Benzonitrile, 3,4-bis(dibromomethyl)-

Description:

Benzonitrile, 3,4-bis(dibromomethyl)-, with the CAS number 19047-19-9, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a benzonitrile core substituted with two dibromomethyl groups at the 3 and 4 positions of the aromatic ring. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its specific form and purity. It exhibits properties common to nitriles, such as being polar and capable of participating in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions. The presence of bromine atoms enhances its reactivity, making it useful in synthetic organic chemistry for the introduction of bromine into other compounds. Additionally, the compound may have applications in materials science and as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks due to its brominated nature and potential toxicity.
