3-Bromo-2,2-bis(bromomethyl)propanol Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties
white solid
Uses
Tribromoneopentanol is an brominated flame retardant, previously shown to be a multisite carcinogen in experimental animals.
General Description
White solid.
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
A brominated alcohol. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.
Fire Hazard
The flash point of 3-Bromo-2,2-bis(bromomethyl)propanol has not been determined, but 3-Bromo-2,2-bis(bromomethyl)propanol is probably combustible.
