2-bromo-6-tert-butylphenol; CAS No.: 23159-87-7;2-bromo-6-tert-butylphenol. PROPERTIES: 2-bromo-6-tert-butylphenol is a brominated and tert-butylated phenolic compound with molecular formula C10H13BrO. It typically exists as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a boiling point around 130-135 C. The compound has limited water solubility but dissolves well in organic solvents like chloroform or carbon tetrachloride. It exhibits moderate thermal stability but may decompose when exposed to high temperatures or strong bases, releasing toxic bromine vapors. Proper storage involves keeping it in tightly sealed containers below 25 C, away from heat sources and incompatible materials. APPLICATIONS: In organic synthesis, this compound serves as a versatile intermediate for creating functionalized phenolic systems. The bromo substituent provides a site for cross-coupling reactions to form biaryl structures, while the tert-butyl group offers steric protection (The Journal of Organic Chemistry). In materials science, 2-bromo-6-tert-butylphenol contributes to the development of flame retardant polymers, where its brominated structure enhances fire resistance properties (Polymer Degradation and Stability). The phenolic hydroxyl group allows for further functionalization through esterification or etherification, expanding applications in polymer chemistry and surface modification (Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics).
