Monobromobenzene
Bromobenzene is an aryl bromide and the simplest of the bromobenzenes, consisting of a benzene ring substituted with one bromine atom. Its chemical formula is . It is a colourless liquid although older samples can appear yellow. It is a reagent in organic synthesis. Synthesis and reactions Bromobenzene is prepared by the action of bromine on benzene in the presence of Lewis acid catalysis, Lewis acid catalysts such as aluminium chloride or ferric bromide. Bromobenzene is used to introduce a phenyl group into other compounds. One method involves its conversion to the Grignard reaction, Grignard reagent, phenylmagnesium bromide. This reagent can be used, e.g. in the reaction with carbon dioxide to prepare benzoic acid. Other methods involve palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki reaction. Bromobenzene is used as a precursor in the manufacture of phencyclidine. Toxicity Animal tests indicate low toxicity. Little is known about chronic effects. For liver toxic ...

Bromobenzenes
Bromobenzenes are a group of aryl bromides/halobenzenes consisting of one or more bromine atoms as substituents on a benzene core. They have the formula C6H6–''n''Br''n'', where ''n'' = 1–6 is the number of bromine atoms. Depending on the number of bromine substituents, there may be several constitutional isomers possible. Isomers * Monobromobenzene * Dibromobenzene ** 1,2-Dibromobenzene ** 1,3-Dibromobenzene ** 1,4-Dibromobenzene * Tribromobenzene ** 1,2,3-Tribromobenzene ** 1,2,4-Tribromobenzene ** 1,3,5-Tribromobenzene * Tetrabromobenzene ** 1,2,3,4-Tetrabromobenzene ** 1,2,3,5-Tetrabromobenzene ** 1,2,4,5-Tetrabromobenzene * Pentabromobenzene * Hexabromobenzene Preparation Bromobenzenes may be prepared by electrophilic aromatic bromination of benzene and benzene derivatives, using elemental bromine and the Lewis acid catalyst iron(III) bromide. They may also be prepared from diazonium compounds. Reactions Bromobenzenes may be carboxylated into carboxylic a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
