Usage

General Description

4-Nitro-alpha,alpha,alpha',alpha'-tetrabromo-o-xylene is a chemical compound that is primarily used as a flame retardant. It is a member of the polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) family, which are often added to plastics, textiles, and electronic equipment to reduce their flammability. PBDEs have been found to persist in the environment and accumulate in organisms, leading to concerns about their potential negative effects on human health and the environment. Additionally, 4-Nitro-alpha,alpha,alpha',alpha'-tetrabromo-o-xylene has been identified as a potential endocrine disruptor and has been linked to adverse effects on thyroid function and neurodevelopment. As a result, there are ongoing efforts to restrict the use of PBDEs and find safer alternative flame retardants.

Synthesis of 4-substituted phthalaldehyde

Disclosed herein are methods of synthesizing a 4-substituted-benzene-1,2-carbaldehyde. In one aspect, a method may include reacting a 4-substituted-1,2-bis(dibromomethyl) benzene with sulfuric acid to form a reaction product, introducing a solid sodium bicarbonate into the reaction product, and hydrolyzing the reaction product to form a 4-substituted-benzene-1,2-carbaldehyde, after introducing the bicarbonate.
