3-Bromo-2,2-bis(bromomethyl)propanol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white solid

Uses

Tribromoneopentanol is an brominated flame retardant, previously shown to be a multisite carcinogen in experimental animals.

General Description

White solid.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

A brominated alcohol. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.

Fire Hazard

The flash point of 3-Bromo-2,2-bis(bromomethyl)propanol has not been determined, but 3-Bromo-2,2-bis(bromomethyl)propanol is probably combustible.
