General Description

1,4-Bis(1,2-dibromoethyl)benzene, also known as 1,4-bis(2,3-dibromo propyl)benzene, is a complex brominated compound typically used in the field of organic chemistry as a building block or intermediate for other complex organic molecules. Its molecular formula is C14H12Br4. It is often used in the manufacture of polymer, plastic, foams, resins, and adhesives, contributing to their flame retardant properties. Its toxicological properties are not well known, but because it includes bromine atoms, it could potentially have harmful environmental and health impacts. It's a solid substance at room temperature with a high melting point.
