2-Bromopropane, also known as isopropyl bromide and 2-propyl bromide, is the halogenated hydrocarbon with the formula CH 3 CHBrCH 3. It is a colorless liquid. It is a colorless liquid. It is used for introducing the isopropyl functional group in organic synthesis . 2-Bromopropane is prepared by heating isopropanol with hydrobromic acid .
Bromobenzene is used to introduce a phenyl group into other compounds. One method involves its conversion to the Grignard reagent, phenylmagnesium bromide. This reagent can be used, e.g. in the reaction with carbon dioxide to prepare benzoic acid. [4] Other methods involve palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki reaction.
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 C 6 H 6–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.
Diagram showing the ortho, meta and para positions relative to a substituent X on a benzene ring. Electron donating groups are typically divided into three levels of activating ability (The "extreme" category can be seen as "strong".) Electron withdrawing groups are assigned to similar groupings.
Benzyl bromide is used in organic synthesis for the introduction of the benzyl groups when the less expensive benzyl chloride is insufficiently reactive. [6] [7] Benzylations are often achieved in the presence of catalytic amounts of sodium iodide, which generates the more reactive benzyl iodide in situ. [3]
In commercial applications, the alkylating agents are generally alkenes, some of the largest scale reactions practiced in industry.Such alkylations are of major industrial importance, e.g. for the production of ethylbenzene, the precursor to polystyrene, from benzene and ethylene and for the production of cumene from benzene and propene in cumene process:
Owing to its symmetrical structure and reactivity, 1,2,4,5-tetrabromobenzene is a precursor to nematic liquid crystals [6] with crossed mesogens and for columnar (discotic) liquid crystals [7] [8] with an extensive planar, "board-like" tetrabenzoanthracene core. Synthesis of discotic LC from 1,2,4,5-Tetrabromobenzene.
Cumene (isopropylbenzene) is an organic compound that contains a benzene ring with an isopropyl substituent.It is a constituent of crude oil and refined fuels. It is a flammable colorless liquid that has a boiling point of 152 °C.
