Description

1,3,6,8-Tetrabromocarbazole is a brominated aromatic hydrocarbon that absorbs light in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum. It has been detected in marine sediments and soils near sites where it was used as an additive for polymers or paints. In recent years, 1,3,6,8-tetrabromocarbazole has also been found in human serum samples collected from people living near these sites. The uptake of this compound by humans may be due to its ability to cross the skin barrier and its high lipophilicity. This compound is not volatile and has a low vapor pressure. It is soluble in water but insoluble in acetone or ethanol. 1,3,6,8-Tetrabromocarbazole can be easily synthesized by coupling two molecules of benzene with one molecule of tetrabromoethane using a cross-coupling reaction.
