(2-bromophenyl)(4-bromophenyl)methanone

Description:

(2-bromophenyl)(4-bromophenyl)methanone, also known by its CAS number 78281-59-1, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two bromophenyl groups attached to a central carbonyl group (ketone). This compound features a methanone functional group, where the carbon atom is bonded to both a 2-bromophenyl and a 4-bromophenyl moiety. The presence of bromine substituents on the phenyl rings significantly influences its chemical properties, including its reactivity and polarity. The bromine atoms can enhance the compound's electrophilicity and may also affect its solubility in various solvents. Additionally, the compound may exhibit interesting photophysical properties due to the conjugation between the aromatic rings and the carbonyl group. It is typically used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of more complex molecules. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as brominated compounds can be hazardous.
