• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Pentaerythritol tribromide is an organic compound that is used as a reagent in analytical chemistry. It is soluble in water and has a high resistance to heat, water vapor, and fatty acids. Pentaerythritol tribromide is used as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of other organic compounds. This compound can be produced from the reaction of hydrogen bromide with pentaerythritol. The synthesis is performed by acylation with chloroalkyl bromides or alkyl chlorides. Pentaerythritol tribromide can also be synthesized from diphenyl ether and magnesium salt in hydrochloric acid. Carbonyl groups are formed during this process.
