2,4,6-Tribromotoluene

Description:

2,4,6-Tribromotoluene is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a toluene backbone substituted with three bromine atoms at the 2, 4, and 6 positions of the benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C7H4Br3, indicating a relatively high bromine content, which contributes to its chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is known for its low solubility in water but higher solubility in organic solvents. 2,4,6-Tribromotoluene is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various brominated compounds. It exhibits significant thermal stability and can undergo various chemical reactions, including electrophilic substitution and nucleophilic reactions, due to the presence of the bromine substituents. Additionally, it is important to handle this compound with care, as brominated compounds can pose environmental and health risks. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with 2,4,6-tribromotoluene in laboratory settings.
