1,3,5-Tribromobenzene

1,3,5-Tribromobenzene is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of aromatic hydrocarbons. It is used as a solvent in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and as a precursor for other organic compounds. 1,3,5-Tribromobenzene has been shown to bind to specific receptors on the surface of cells and affect their function. It also binds to hydrochloric acid and forms a matrix with it that can be used for analytical purposes. 1,3,5-Tribromobenzene has been found to have uv absorption properties, making it useful for analytical purposes. The molecule is stable in nonpolar solvents such as n-dimethyl formamide (DMF) and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE). 1,3,5-Tribromobenzene can be synthesized by coupling three molecules of benzene with one molecule of bromine using the Suzuki reaction.
