Product Information

• Name: 2,5-Dibromofuran
• Synonyms: furan, 2,5-dibromo-
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,5-Dibromofuran is a synthetic chemical that is synthesized from acetonitrile and palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. It can be obtained by the reaction of sodium in anhydrous form with bromine and subsequent evaporation to dryness. 2,5-Dibromofuran has been shown to reversibly react with chloride at room temperature for one hour, which can be attributed to its electron withdrawing properties. The FTIR spectra of 2,5-dibromofuran show bands corresponding to carbonyl and hydroxyl groups. This chemical has been used in synthesis methods involving surfactants and anhydrous sodium chloride as well as uv irradiation.
