Uses of tert-Butylbenzene: it can be used to produce 1-bromo-4-tert-butyl-benzene at temperature of 20 °C. This reaction is a kind of Bromination. It will need reagent Br₂, zeolite NaY and solvent CH₂Cl₂ with reaction time of 5 hours. The yield is about 97%.

When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it as the following:
This chemical may cause damage to health and may catch fire in contact with air which only need brief contact with an ignition source and has a very low flash point or evolve highly flammable gases in contact with water. In addition, it may cause inflammation to the skin or other mucous membranes. It is irritating to skin. You should not breathe its gas/fumes/vapour/spray (appropriate wording to be specified by the manufacturer). You should avoid contacting it with skin and eyes.
