Chemical Properties
clear light yellow to orange liquid
Uses
α,α-Dibromotoluene undergoes polymerization with excess Mg to give poly(phenylmethylene)s
. It reacts with NaSO
2Me at 110°C to yield a mixture of the monosulfone and α,α-disulfone
. It undergoes copolycondensation with α,α′-dibromo-
p-xylylene in the presence of excess Mg via nucleophilic substitution of
in situ generated Grignard reagents
