• Description: 1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)benzene is a molecule that has a variety of uses. It is used as an adsorbent for the purification of aromatic hydrocarbons and can also be used in synthesizing coumarin derivatives. It is also a component in x-ray crystal structures, ether linkages, chemical structures, and other organic compounds. 1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)benzene reacts with nucleophiles such as chloride to form diphenyl ethers. The synthesis of 1,4-bis(bromomethyl)benzene begins with the reaction of pyridinedicarboxylic acid and bromine in the presence of an organic solvent. This process creates a mixture containing diphenyl ethers and other halogenated aromatic compounds that can then be purified by crystallization or distillation.
