4-Bromo-4’-propylbiphenyl(CAS: 58743-81-0)

4-Bromo-4’-propylbiphenyl (CAS: 58743-81-0) is a crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 256.01 g/mol. It has a low water solubility and is sparingly soluble in common organic solvents. Chemically, it is less reactive under normal conditions but can undergo substitution reactions under appropriate conditions. It is stable under normal laboratory conditions but should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

4-Bromo-4’-propylbiphenyl (CAS: 58743-81-0) is typically synthesized via bromination of 4-Propylbiphenyl using bromine in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, such as aluminum bromide. The reaction is carried out in an inert solvent like dichloromethane. The product can be purified by column chromatography, yielding a highly pure compound with high selectivity and yield.

4-Bromo-4’-propylbiphenyl (CAS: 58743-81-0) finds applications in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, where it is used as a precursor for drug development, and in the synthesis of organic compounds for sensors and semiconductors. It is also used in the polymer industry for the synthesis of functional polymers.

When handling 4-Bromo-4’-propylbiphenyl (CAS: 58743-81-0), it is essential to wear protective equipment such as gloves, lab coat, and safety goggles. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. In case of a spill, immediately clean it up using appropriate absorbent materials and dispose of them according to local regulations. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling instructions.
