Application | copper bromide can be used as brominating reagent, oxidizing reagent and Lewis acid reagent. |
mechanism of action | copper bromide is an effective brominating agent that can act on a variety of functional compounds. Such as to achieve the bromination reaction of carbonyl ortho-methylene. When other methylene groups, such as steroids, are present in the substrate, the copper bromide can recognize the position of the carbonyl group, thereby selectively effecting the bromination reaction at the ortho position of the carbonyl group. |
Use | copper bromide can be used as a photographic sensitizer; As a brominating agent in organic synthesis; It can also be used in copper vapor lasers, when the hydrogen bromide placed in the catheter reacts with the molten copper under discharge conditions to form copper bromide vapor, this laser can produce yellow or green light, which is applied in dermatology. used as brominating agent in organic synthesis used as analytical reagent and catalyst analytical reagent. Brominating agents for organic synthesis. Stabilizer for acetylated polyoxymethylene. Humidity indicator temperature indicator, organic synthetic brominating agent, acetylated polyoxymethylene stabilizer. |

risk | copper bromide is toxic and cannot be consumed. It will affect the human central nervous system, brain, eyes, liver and kidney cause adverse effects, while stimulating the human skin, eyes and respiratory tract. |
production method | 1. The copper oxide metered according to the reaction scheme is dissolved in hot (to avoid boiling) hydrobromic acid, filtered through a glass filter, and the filtrate is immediately concentrated in a vacuum on sulfuric acid to solidify the target product. |
