PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
2,6-dibromophenol is a dibromophenol that is phenol in which both of the hydrogens that are ortho to the phenolic hydroxy group have been replaced by bromines. It has a role as a marine metabolite. It is a bromohydrocarbon and a dibromophenol. It is functionally related to a 1,3-dibromobenzene.
