2,4-dibromo-1,5-dimethylbenzene; CAS No.: 615-87-2;2,4-dibromo-1,5-dimethylbenzene. PROPERTIES: 2,4-dibromo-1,5-dimethylbenzene is a brominated and methylated aromatic compound with molecular formula C8H8Br2. It typically exists as a colorless liquid with a mild aromatic odor, having 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 building block for creating functionalized aromatic systems. The dibromo substituents provide sites for cross-coupling reactions to form biaryl structures, while the dimethyl groups offer steric effects that influence reactivity and selectivity (Tetrahedron Letters). In pharmaceutical research, 2,4-dibromo-1,5-dimethylbenzene contributes to the development of antimicrobial and anticancer agents where the brominated aromatic scaffold enhances binding to biological targets (European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry). The compound also finds application in materials science as a precursor for creating organic semiconductors with tailored electronic properties, where the electron-withdrawing bromine atoms modulate charge transport characteristics (Journal of Materials Chemistry C).
