CAS 558-13-4

Carbon tetrabromide

Description:

Carbon tetrabromide, with the chemical formula CBr₄ and CAS number 558-13-4, is a colorless, odorless liquid at room temperature. It is a dense, non-flammable compound that exhibits high solubility in organic solvents but is insoluble in water. Carbon tetrabromide is primarily used as a solvent in organic synthesis and as a reagent in the production of brominated compounds. Its molecular structure consists of a central carbon atom bonded to four bromine atoms, resulting in a tetrahedral geometry. The compound has a relatively high molecular weight and a boiling point that is significantly higher than that of many other organic solvents. Due to its bromine content, carbon tetrabromide can be hazardous, as bromine is a toxic element. It is important to handle this substance with care, using appropriate safety measures to avoid inhalation or skin contact. Additionally, carbon tetrabromide has been identified as an ozone-depleting substance, leading to restrictions on its use in certain applications.

Carbon tetrabromide

CAS: 558-13-4

Carbon tetrabromide is a chemical substance that is used in the synthesis of organic compounds. It can be used to synthesize carbon-carbon bonds by reacting with alkenes and alkynes. Carbon tetrabromide reacts with water vapor to produce carbon dioxide and bromine, which can then react with other molecules. The reaction mechanism for this process involves hydrogen bonding. Carbon tetrabromide has been shown to inhibit replication of DNA and RNA, as well as the protein synthesis in cells. This inhibition is based on its ability to form covalent bonds with nitrogen atoms in nucleic acids and proteins. The reactive properties of carbon tetrabromide make it an effective inhibitor of many infectious diseases caused by bacteria and viruses, including HIV and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). This action may be due to the structural similarity between carbon tetrabromide and fatty acids found in cell membranes.
