Uses
1,2,4,5-Tetrabromobenzene is a useful synthetic intermediate. It is used as a building block to prepare various aryl containing compounds such as tetrabenzanthracene, substituted pentacenes [pentacene (P237770)], n-stacking tetracene (N377650) derivatives and so on.
General Description
The single structure of 1,2,4,5-tetrabromobenzene as actuating elements was studied and the relations between their mechanical properties and kinematic profile were determined.
Environmental Fate
Chemical/Physical. 1,2,4,5-Tetrabromobenzene (150 mg in 250-mL distilled water) was stirred
in the dark for 1 day. GC analysis of the solution showed 1,2,4-tribromobenzene as a major
transformation product (Kim and Saleh, 1990).
