Product Information

• Name: Tetrabromocatechol
• Synonyms: 3,4,5,6-Tetrabromopyrocatechol1,2-Benzenediol, 3,4,5,6-Tetrabromo- (9Ci)3,4,5,6-Tetrabromocatechol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tetrabromocatechol is an ancillary in the synthesis of acrylates, which are used as monomers in the manufacture of polymers. Tetrabromocatechol is obtained by reacting hydrochloric acid with tetrachloroethylene and sodium bromide. The biochemical properties of tetrabromocatechol have been investigated using crystallography to determine its molecular structure. It can be found in x-ray crystal structures where it acts as a hydrogen bond donor and chelate ligand. Tetrabromocatechol has shown some catalytic activity as a solid catalyst for methyl ethyl ether, suggesting that it may be useful in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals or other organic compounds.
