Description

±,3,5-Tribromo-2-hydroxytoluene is an organic compound that belongs to the class of bromophenols. It is a regioselective brominating agent for the synthesis of 1,4-dibromobenzene from vinylcyclohexane. The regiospecificity of this reaction depends on the solvent and the presence of other reagents. The analogs of ±,3,5-tribromo-2-hydroxytoluene are 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid and 4-(1H)-benzoxazinone. These compounds are catalytic dienes that can be used in the synthesis of polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene.
