CAS 54459-64-2

Benzene, 1,3,5-tribromo-2-(bromomethyl)-

Description:

Benzene, 1,3,5-tribromo-2-(bromomethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 54459-64-2, is a brominated aromatic compound characterized by the presence of three bromine atoms attached to the benzene ring at the 1, 3, and 5 positions, along with a bromomethyl group at the 2 position. This structure contributes to its chemical reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The presence of multiple bromine substituents enhances its electrophilic character, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including substitution and coupling reactions. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its physical state at room temperature. It is important to handle this substance with care due to the toxicity associated with brominated compounds and their potential environmental impact. As with many brominated aromatic compounds, it may exhibit properties such as high stability and resistance to degradation, which can raise concerns regarding persistence in the environment. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with this compound in laboratory or industrial settings.
