CAS 79415-41-1

(pentabromophenyl)methanol

Description:

(Pentabromophenyl)methanol, with the CAS number 79415-41-1, is a brominated organic compound characterized by the presence of a pentabromophenyl group attached to a methanol moiety. This compound is notable for its high bromine content, which imparts significant flame-retardant properties, making it useful in various applications, particularly in the plastics and textiles industries. The presence of multiple bromine atoms enhances its stability and resistance to degradation, but it also raises concerns regarding environmental persistence and potential toxicity. The compound is typically solid at room temperature and may exhibit low solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. Its chemical structure suggests potential reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, due to the presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group. Overall, (pentabromophenyl)methanol is an important compound in materials science, but its environmental impact and safety profile warrant careful consideration in its use and disposal.
