1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)benzene

Description:

1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)benzene, also known as p-bromomethylbenzyl bromide, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a benzene ring with two bromomethyl groups attached at the para positions. Its molecular formula is C8H8Br2, indicating the presence of two bromine atoms and eight carbon and hydrogen atoms. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its reactivity due to the presence of bromomethyl groups, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitution and cross-coupling reactions. It is often used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of polymers and other complex organic molecules. The compound is moderately soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it can be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin, and it may pose environmental hazards. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate any risks associated with its use.

1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)benzene

CAS: 623-24-5

1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)benzene is a molecule that has a variety of uses. It is used as an adsorbent for the purification of aromatic hydrocarbons and can also be used in synthesizing coumarin derivatives. It is also a component in x-ray crystal structures, ether linkages, chemical structures, and other organic compounds. 1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)benzene reacts with nucleophiles such as chloride to form diphenyl ethers. The synthesis of 1,4-bis(bromomethyl)benzene begins with the reaction of pyridinedicarboxylic acid and bromine in the presence of an organic solvent. This process creates a mixture containing diphenyl ethers and other halogenated aromatic compounds that can then be purified by crystallization or distillation.
