3,9-Dibromo-7H-benz[de]anthracen-7-one

Description:

3,9-Dibromo-7H-benz[de]anthracen-7-one is a polycyclic aromatic compound characterized by its complex structure, which includes multiple fused aromatic rings. This compound features bromine substituents at the 3 and 9 positions, which can influence its chemical reactivity and physical properties. It typically appears as a solid at room temperature and may exhibit a range of colors depending on its purity and crystalline form. The presence of the carbonyl group (ketone) at the 7 position contributes to its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including electrophilic substitution. Its bromine atoms can also participate in further reactions, such as nucleophilic substitution or coupling reactions. 3,9-Dibromo-7H-benz[de]anthracen-7-one is of interest in organic synthesis and materials science, particularly in the development of organic semiconductors and dyes. However, due to its brominated nature, it may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal in laboratory settings.
