CAS 27561-51-9: 1-bromo-4-(bromomethyl)-2-methylbenzene

Description: 1-Bromo-4-(bromomethyl)-2-methylbenzene, also known as a brominated aromatic compound, features a benzene ring substituted with both a bromo group and a bromomethyl group, along with a methyl group. This compound is characterized by its relatively high density and moderate solubility in organic solvents, such as dichloromethane and ether, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of multiple bromine atoms contributes to its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, and can influence its physical properties, such as melting and boiling points. Additionally, the bromine substituents can enhance the compound's stability under certain conditions, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications in organic chemistry. Safety considerations are important when handling this compound, as brominated compounds can be hazardous and may pose environmental risks. Proper storage and disposal methods should be followed to mitigate any potential hazards associated with its use.
