1,2,3-Tribromo-5-methylbenzene

Description:

1,2,3-Tribromo-5-methylbenzene, with the CAS number 73557-59-2, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a methyl group and three bromine substituents on a benzene ring. The bromine atoms are located at the 1, 2, and 3 positions relative to the methyl group at the 5 position, leading to a complex steric environment that influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature due to the bromine substituents. The presence of bromine atoms enhances the compound's reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses, including the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the bromine atoms can participate in electrophilic substitution reactions, which are common in aromatic chemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as brominated compounds can be hazardous and may pose environmental risks.
