What is 2,4,6-Tribromoaniline?

Chemical properties

BEIGE TO GREY CRYSTALLINE SOLID

The Uses of 2,4,6-Tribromoaniline

2,4,6-Tribromoaniline was used in simultaneous determination of phenolic brominated flame retardants and their by-products in water.

The Uses of 2,4,6-Tribromoaniline

A trihalogen substituted aniline with potential inhibitory effect on human cytochrome P 450 (CYP) 2E1.

Preparation

2,4,6-Tribromoaniline can be prepared by treating bromine water with aniline in a solution of acetic acid or dilute hydrochloric acid:
synthesis of 2,4,6-Tribromoaniline
synthesis-of-2-4-6-tribromoaniline-from-aniline

General Description

Electrochemical oxidation of 2,4,6-tribromoaniline in aqueous sulphuric acid solutions at platinum electrode has been studied by rotating disc electrode and cyclic voltammetry. 2,4,6-Tribromoaniline on closed-tube pyrolysis yields polybromophenazines. It is an intermediate in the formulation of flame retardants incorporated to plastic materials.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the aniline from MeOH. The benzenesulfonamide derivative has m 198o. [Beilstein 12 H 663, 12 I 329, 12 II 358, 12 III 1477, 12 IV 1538.]
