9,10-Dibromoanthracene Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Yellow to yellow-green fluffy powder. Melting point 226°C. It can be sublimated and oxidized to generate anthraquinone. Soluble in hot benzene and hot toluene, slightly soluble in alcohol, ether and cold benzene, insoluble in water.

Uses

9,10-Dibromoanthracene is a dibrominated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). 9,10-Dibromoanthracene is often used as an energy acceptor and activator in reactions that produce chemiluminescence.

Uses

9,10-Dibromoanthracene is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.

Preparation

9,10-Dibromoanthracene is synthesized by the bromination of anthracene. The bromination reaction is carried out at room temperature using carbon tetrachloride as a solvent. Using 80-85% anthracene as raw material, adding bromine to react for half an hour, the yield is 83-88%.

Purification Methods

Recrystallise it from toluene, xylene or CCl4 (yellow needles), and sublime it in a vacuum [Johnston et al. J Am Chem Soc 109 1291 1987]. [Heilbron & Heaton Org Synth Coll Vol I 207 1941, Beilstein 5 H 665.]
