colorless liquid. Boiling point 214.5 °c. Melting Point -0.2 °c. The relative density was 1. 3708. Refractive index 5530. Flash point 80 °c. Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol, ether.
bromination of O-xylene, O-xylene, iodine and iron powder were added to the reactor, and bromine was added dropwise under cooling of ice brine to control the rate of bromine addition, the reaction solution was maintained at not more than 5 ° C., and the evolved hydrogen bromide was absorbed with a sodium hydroxide solution. After the bromine was added dropwise, it was left overnight at room temperature, washed with 5% dilute sodium hydroxide solution in a separatory funnel until the red color fades, then washed with water, and the oil layer was subjected to steam distillation to obtain 3,4-methyl bromobenzene. The yield was 75%.
as an intermediate of a meltable polyimide resin.
