Description

2,3,4,5,6-Pentabromotoluene is a brominated derivative of toluene. It reacts with the fatty acid component of a cell membrane resulting in loss of fluidity and expansion. The reaction mechanism has been studied by analyzing the thermal expansion of rat liver microsomes. 2,3,4,5,6-Pentabromotoluene is also used as a sample preparation agent for analytical methods such as gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS). This chemical can be oxidized by an oxidation catalyst to form p-hydroxybenzoic acid. It can also react with metal hydroxides to produce dimethyl fumarate. 2,3,4,5,6-Pentabromotoluene is found in human serum and wastewater treatment plants.
