Description

2,5-Dibromophenol is a stilbene derivative that is used as an analytical reagent in the analysis of urine samples. 2,5-Dibromophenol has been shown to be effective in the detection of bromophenols and other organic compounds. It can also be used as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and dyes. The compound is most commonly produced by the reaction of bromine with phenol using heat or UV light. This process can be improved by using catalysts, such as copper and iron salts. The synthesis does not require any solvents and can be done at atmospheric pressure without any need for vacuum.
2,5-Dibromophenol is soluble in water due to its ionic character; therefore it can be easily prepared in its pure form for use in chromatographic techniques.
