2,3,5,6-Tetrabromo-p-xylene

Description:
2,3,5,6-Tetrabromo-p-xylene is an organic compound characterized by the presence of four bromine atoms attached to a p-xylene backbone, which consists of a benzene ring with two methyl groups in the para position. This compound is a member of the brominated aromatic hydrocarbons, known for their applications in flame retardants and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Its molecular structure contributes to its hydrophobic nature, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. The presence of multiple bromine atoms enhances its stability and resistance to degradation, which can be advantageous in certain applications but also raises environmental and health concerns due to potential bioaccumulation and toxicity. 2,3,5,6-Tetrabromo-p-xylene is typically handled with caution in laboratory and industrial settings, and its use is regulated in many jurisdictions due to the potential risks associated with brominated compounds. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance to mitigate exposure risks.
