2-bromo-4-tert-butyl-1-methylbenzene

Description:

2-Bromo-4-tert-butyl-1-methylbenzene, also known as 2-bromo-4-(tert-butyl)toluene, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a bromine atom, a tert-butyl group, and a methyl group attached to a benzene ring. The bromine substituent is located at the second position, while the tert-butyl and methyl groups are positioned at the fourth and first positions, respectively. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It is relatively non-polar due to the bulky tert-butyl group, which influences its solubility in organic solvents. The presence of the bromine atom makes it a potential candidate for nucleophilic substitution reactions, while the tert-butyl group can enhance steric hindrance, affecting reactivity. Additionally, this compound may exhibit moderate toxicity and should be handled with care in a laboratory setting. Its applications may include use in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds.

2-Bromo-4-tert-butyl-1-methyl-benzene (2BTMB) is a congener of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). It is an oily liquid that is insoluble in water. 2BTMB is metabolized by the liver, and has been found in the blood, adipose tissue, and eggs of salmonids. 2BTMB has shown to have physicochemical properties that are similar to other PCB congeners. The toxicity of 2BTMB is largely unknown because it has not been extensively studied. 2BTMB can magnify up the food chain through bioaccumulation and biomagnification.
