α-Bromostyrene

Description:

α-Bromostyrene is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a bromine atom and a styrene moiety. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. The compound features a vinyl group (–CH=CH2) directly attached to a bromine-substituted benzene ring, which contributes to its reactivity and utility in various chemical reactions, particularly in electrophilic substitution and polymerization processes. α-Bromostyrene is known for its ability to undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound is also considered to be a hazardous material, requiring careful handling due to its potential health effects, including skin and respiratory irritation. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with α-bromostyrene in laboratory or industrial settings.
