Phenol, 4-bromo-3,5-dichloro-

Description:

Phenol, 4-bromo-3,5-dichloro- (CAS 1940-28-9) is a halogenated aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring that is further substituted with bromine and chlorine atoms. Specifically, this compound features a bromine atom at the para position and two chlorine atoms at the meta positions relative to the hydroxyl group. This substitution pattern influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. The presence of halogens typically enhances the compound's reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications. Phenol derivatives are known for their antimicrobial properties and can be utilized in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. Additionally, the compound's solubility in organic solvents and moderate solubility in water can affect its behavior in biological systems and environmental contexts. Safety considerations are important, as halogenated phenols can exhibit toxicity and environmental persistence, necessitating careful handling and disposal.

4-Bromo-3,5-dichlorophenol is a preservative that is used to prevent the growth of microorganisms in water. The compound is added to water at concentrations of 1-10 ppm and can be found in drinking water, swimming pools, and waste water. 4-Bromo-3,5-dichlorophenol is dechlorinated with chlorine to make it more stable. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by interfering with their DNA synthesis and protein production. 4-Bromo-3,5-dichlorophenol also inhibits the growth of fungi and algae by interfering with their cell membrane structure. It can be detected in low levels using gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy or liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy techniques.
4-Bromo-3,5-dichlorophenol has been shown to be toxic to mice and rats at high concentrations (>100 mg/kg).
