4-Bromo-2,6-dimethylphenol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

LIGHT PINK-BEIGE TO BROWN CRYSTALS OR POWDER

Uses

It is used as a preservatives for coatings, slurries and to control microbial fouling in paper mills , oil field and leather process and water treatment process against microbial attack.

Preparation

4-Bromo-2,6-dimethylphenol is prepared by bromination of 2,6-dimethylphenol in glacial acetic acid at 15 ℃ and used as a microbicide in disinfectants.

General Description

Iodine initiated polymerization of 4-bromo-2,6-xylenol in tetrahydrofuran solution has been investigated. 4-Bromo-2,6-xylenol on bromination in chloroform or carbobn tetrachloride yields 3,4-dibromo-2,6-xylenol and 3,4,5-tribromo-2,6-xylenol.

Toxicity evaluation

LD50 (i.p., mouse) 650 mg/kg.
