2-Nitrobenzyl bromide Uses

 2-Nitrobenzyl bromide (CAS NO.3958-60-9) has been used as intermediates of Organic synthesis . It has been used in the production expectorant agent:hydrochloride of Bromine amine ,too .

2-Nitrobenzyl bromide Production

By adding The carbon tetrachloride, o-nitro-toluene and azobisisobutyronitrile in aqueous solution into reaction tank, stirring heated, dropping bromine in carbon tetrachloride solution, then keep dropping back to finish and continue to return for 5-6h, at last ,bromide o-nitro benzyl bromide is generated.

2-Nitrobenzyl bromide Safety Profile

Decomposes exothermically at 100°C. It has caused plant scale explosions. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx and Br−. See also 4-NITROBENZYL BROMIDE and NITRO COMPOUNDS of AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS.
