CAS 1585-07-5: 1-Bromo-4-ethylbenzene

Applications 1-Bromo-4-ethylbenzene is organo bromide with flame retardant properties. References Day, M. et al.: J. Fire Sci., 1, 255 (1983);

1-Bromo-4-ethylbenzene is a metastable compound that can be used to study the effects of temperature on reaction rates. It has a structural formula of C6H5Br, and it is an aromatic hydrocarbon with a dipole moment. The molecule contains an ethyl group and two halogen atoms (chloride). 1-Bromo-4-ethylbenzene can be synthesized in three ways: by reacting ethyl bromide with sodium chloride, by reacting bromine gas with an ethyl alcohol, or by reacting chlorobenzene with hydrogen bromide. The amount of time required for the reaction to occur depends on the solutes present and the flow rate of reactants. When deuterium is substituted for hydrogen during synthesis, there will be isotope effects.
