Description and Uses

Bromobenzene is a flammable, clear, colorlessmobile liquid with a pleasant odor. Molecularweight=157.02. Specific gravity (H2O:1)=1.48; Boilingpoint=156℃; Freezing/Melting point=2 31℃; Flashpoint=51℃; Autoignition temperature=565℃. Explosivelimits in air: LEL=6%; UEL=36.5%[icsc]. HazardIdentification (based on NFPA-704 M Rating System):Health 2, Flammability 2, Reactivity 0. Very slightly soluble in water; solubility=0.04% at 25℃.

Bromobenzene is a colorless, flammable liquid with a density greater than water and with an aromatic odor. It is synthesized by the reaction of bromide with benzene in the presence of iron powder. It is used for organic synthesis, particularly in the production of the intermediate phenylmagnesium bromide. Bromobenzene is an additive to motor oils and used as a crystallizing solvent. It is used as an ingredient in the manufacture of phencyclidine, a recreational drug.
