2,6-Dibromotoluene

CAS: 69321-60-4

2,6-Dibromotoluene is a brominated organic compound with two functional groups. It can be used as a precursor to ferrocenes and as a synthetic intermediate for triazine herbicides. 2,6-Dibromotoluene is synthesized by the cross-coupling reaction of methylmagnesium bromide and benzaldehyde. The reaction solution is anhydrous sodium acetate in acetic acid at room temperature. This compound has three isomers: α-, β-, and γ-. The α-isomer has a helical structure and nmr spectra in the range of 1H (1.4 ppm) to 13C (63.5 ppm). Inelastic neutron scattering measurements on hexane solutions show that the β-isomer has a hexagonal structure with an inversion center at C3, while the γ-isomer has an octahedral structure with no inversion center.
