1,2,4,5-Tetrabromobenzene is used in the synthesis of diethynyltriptycene-linked dipyridyl ligands, in the generation of dibenzyne. It is also used to produce 6,7-dibromo-1,4-epoxy-1,4-dihydronaphthalene at temperature of -23°C.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
