CAS 615-87-2: 1,5-Dibromo-2,4-dimethylbenzene

Description: 1,5-Dibromo-2,4-dimethylbenzene, with the CAS number 615-87-2, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of two bromine atoms and two methyl groups attached to a benzene ring. The bromine substituents are located at the 1 and 5 positions, while the methyl groups are at the 2 and 4 positions, leading to a symmetrical structure. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and exhibits a melting point that reflects its crystalline nature. It is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is common for many brominated aromatic compounds. The presence of bromine atoms enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses, including as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the compound may exhibit interesting electronic properties due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the bromine atoms, influencing its behavior in chemical reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as brominated compounds can pose health risks.
