µa,µa,µa',µa'-Tetrabromo-o-xylene, 97%

Description

This product from Thermo Fisher Scientific is a laboratory chemical identified as µa,µa,µa',µa'-Tetrabromo-o-xylene. It is supplied as a solid with a stated purity of 97%. The package size is 250 grams. The compound has the molecular formula C8H6Br4, and its structure can be represented by the SMILES notation C1=CC=C(C(=C1)C(Br)Br)C(Br)Br, indicating a xylene core with four bromomethyl substituents. Tetrabromoxylenes are often utilized as intermediates in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of polymers, flame retardants, or as building blocks for more complex molecular architectures. The high degree of bromination makes it a potential source of bromine atoms or a cross-linking agent in various chemical reactions. As with all chemicals, appropriate safety handling procedures should be followed.
