CAS 7321-27-9: 2-Bromoanthracene

2-Bromoanthracene

2-Bromoanthracene is a fluorescent probe that absorbs ultraviolet and visible light. It is used in organic chemistry as an aromatic hydrocarbon for the preparation of other compounds. 2-Bromoanthracene can be synthesized from anthracene by the Suzuki coupling reaction, which involves the use of chloride as a catalyst. The molecule has a high vapor pressure and emits vapors that are toxic to humans. 2-Bromoanthracene reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen bromide gas and bromine water. This product has an activation energy of 17 kJ/mol and a molecular orbital energy level diagram with three molecular orbitals, two bonding molecular orbitals, one antibonding molecular orbital, and one nonbonding molecular orbital.
