Bis(4-bromophenyl)ether is an aromatic hydrocarbon that can be synthesized from the reaction of bromine and phenol. It is a dipole, which means it has a net electric charge on either side. The dipole is caused by the electron distribution in the molecule. Bis(4-bromophenyl)ether is synthesized through a debromination process, which involves the removal of one or more bromine atoms from a compound containing bromine. This process uses sodium hydroxide solution as a base. Bis(4-bromophenyl)ether has been identified as an environmental pollutant in some areas and has been shown to be toxic to aquatic life and carcinogenic to humans. Bis(4-bromophenyl)ether can also react with hydrogen sulfide in water to form bis(4-sulfonylphenyl)ether, which is used commercially as an analytical reagent for organic sulfur compounds such as
