1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 1,2-bis(2,3-dibromopropyl) ester

Description:

1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 1,2-bis(2,3-dibromopropyl) ester, commonly known as dibromopropyl phthalate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional groups derived from phthalic acid. This substance features a benzene ring with two carboxylic acid groups at the 1 and 2 positions, which are esterified with 2,3-dibromopropyl groups. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of bromine atoms contributes to its potential use as a flame retardant in various materials, including plastics and textiles. The compound is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water. It exhibits thermal stability, making it suitable for applications that require resistance to heat. However, due to the presence of bromine, it may raise environmental and health concerns, necessitating careful handling and regulation. As with many brominated compounds, it is important to consider its potential effects on human health and the environment during its use and disposal.
