2,4,6-Tribromo-3-hydroxybenzenemethanol

Description:

2,4,6-Tribromo-3-hydroxybenzenemethanol, with the CAS number 2316-63-4, is an organic compound characterized by its brominated phenolic structure. This compound features three bromine atoms attached to the benzene ring at the 2, 4, and 6 positions, along with a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a methanol group (-CH2OH) at the 3-position. The presence of multiple bromine substituents significantly influences its physical and chemical properties, including increased hydrophobicity and potential biological activity. It is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit low solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. The compound's bromine atoms can enhance its reactivity, making it of interest in various chemical syntheses and applications, including as a potential antimicrobial agent. Additionally, the hydroxyl group contributes to its ability to form hydrogen bonds, affecting its interactions in biological systems. Safety data should be consulted, as brominated compounds can pose environmental and health risks.
