5-(4-Bromophenyl)furfural - Introduction
5-(4-bromophenyl)furfural, also known as phenylpropionaldehyde bromide, is an organic compound. The following is a description of its nature, use, formulation and safety information:
Nature:
5-(4-bromophenyl)furfural is a solid, usually white to light yellow crystals or powder. It has a special aroma, soluble in organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers and esters, and insoluble in water.
Use:
5-(4-bromophenyl)furfural is an important organic synthesis intermediate. It is often used to synthesize compounds such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides and fragrances. Its aromatic properties make it widely used in the flavor and fragrance industry.
Method:
5-(4-bromophenyl)furfural is usually obtained by the reaction of benzoic acid and bromine. First, benzoic acid is reacted with phosphoric acid or pentaethyl phosphate to give a benzoate. The benzoate is then reacted with bromine under acidic conditions to give 5-(4-bromophenyl)furfural.
Safety Information:
When operating 5-(4-bromophenyl)furfural, you need to pay attention to safety. It can cause irritation and damage to the eyes, skin and respiratory system. Therefore, wear appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, safety glasses and respiratory protection during use. Be sure to operate in a well-ventilated area and avoid direct contact with the skin and inhalation of its vapors. If exposed or inhaled, rinse immediately with water and seek medical help.
