Description

Tetrabromophthalic anhydride is a reactive, thermally unstable anhydride that reacts with water to form bromophthalic acid. It is used in wastewater treatment and analytical methods. Tetrabromophthalic anhydride is also a potential precursor to polyvinyl bromide monomer, which has been shown to cause autoimmune diseases in laboratory mice. It is highly resistant to thermal decomposition at high temperatures, making it useful for the synthesis of polymers.
