Description & Properties of Bromobenzene | |
Bromobenzene is an aryl halide. Bromobenzene formed by electrophilic aromatic substitution of benzene using bromine. It is soluble in methanol and diethyl ether, and very slightly soluble in cold water. Bromobenzene is prepared industrially by the action of bromine on benzene in the presence of iron powder. Bromobenzene is used to introduce a phenyl group via palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions such as the Suzuki reaction. Bromobenzene can be used to prepare the corresponding Grignard reagent, phenylmagnesium bromide. Bromobenzene is used as a precursor in the manufacture of Phencyclidine.
