3,4,5-tribromotoluene; CAS No.: 73557-59-2;3,4,5-tribromotoluene. PROPERTIES: 3,4,5-tribromotoluene is a highly brominated aromatic compound with molecular formula C7H6Br3. It typically exists as a colorless liquid with a boiling point around 150-155 C. The compound has limited water solubility but dissolves well in organic solvents like hexane or toluene. It exhibits moderate thermal stability but may release toxic bromine vapors when exposed to high temperatures or flames. 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 building block for creating sterically hindered aromatic systems. The tribromo functionality provides significant electron-withdrawing effects, while the methyl group offers steric protection (The Journal of Organic Chemistry). In materials science, the compound contributes to the development of organic semiconductors with improved charge transport properties, where the electron-withdrawing bromine atoms modulate electronic characteristics (Journal of Materials Chemistry C). Its structure makes it suitable for creating self-assembled monolayers on surfaces, useful in nanotechnology applications where steric effects influence assembly and stability (Langmuir).
