1-Bromo-4-(bromomethyl)-2-chlorobenzene

Description:

1-Bromo-4-(bromomethyl)-2-chlorobenzene, with the CAS number 68120-44-5, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons. This compound features a benzene ring substituted with three halogen atoms: one bromine atom at the first position, a bromomethyl group at the fourth position, and a chlorine atom at the second position. The presence of multiple halogens contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds and in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is important to handle this substance with care due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, as halogenated compounds can be persistent in the environment and may pose risks to human health. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are essential when working with this chemical.

CAS: 68120-44-5

1-Bromo-4-(bromomethyl)-2-chlorobenzene is a brominating agent that can be used for the preparation of alkyl halides. It reacts with sodium hydride to give the corresponding sodium alkoxide, which can be hydrolyzed to give an alcohol. The reaction product is then treated with methoxy or chloro groups, giving a 1-bromo-3-methoxy-2-chlorobenzene or 1-bromo-3-chloro-2-chlorobenzene respectively. This compound can also be used as an inhibitor in organic synthesis reactions involving hydrolysis and reductive dehalogenation.
