Product Information

• Name: 1,2-Dibromo-4-nitrobenzene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,2-Dibromo-4-nitrobenzene is a brominated aromatic compound that is used as a reagent in organic chemistry. It reacts with peroxide to form azobenzene, which can be used for the synthesis of dienes and other compounds. It also has antimicrobial activity against bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The mechanism of action is thought to involve the formation of reactive intermediates that react with the bacterial cell membrane or DNA. 1,2-Dibromo-4-nitrobenzene yields are low due to its tendency to dimerize into 2,4-dibromoazobenzene, which decomposes quickly into benzyne and dienes.
