The Uses of 2,6-Dibromophenol
2,6-Dibromophenol is used in the production of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde and 2-(2,6-dibromophenoxy)ethylbromide.
The Uses of 2,6-Dibromophenol
2,6-Dibromophenol is an off-flavor compound that is a metabolite of the spoilage bacteria Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris. 2,6-Dibromophenol is a metabolic inhibitor and an auxin-like molecule.
Definition
ChEBI: 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is a dibromophenol that is phenol in which both of the hydrogens that are ortho to the phenolic hydroxy group have been replaced by bromines.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.
General Description
2,6-Dibromophenol has been isolated from a luminous marine enteropneust, Balanoglossus biminiensis and is responsible for the characteristic ″iodoform-like″ odor of these animals.
Purification Methods
Distil the phenol under vacuum (at 10mm), then crystallise it from cold CHCl3 or from EtOH/water. [Beilstein 6 H 202, 6 I 106, 6 II 188, 6 III 755, 6 IV 1064.]
