In 2019,Chinese Chemical Letters included an article by Zhang, Ding; Sha, Min; Pan, Renming; Lin, Xiangyang; Xing, Ping; Jiang, Biao. Application In Synthesis of 1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)benzene. The article was titled 《Design and synthesis of the novel branched fluorinated surfactant intermediates with CF3CF2CF2C(CF3)2 group》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) or perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) was one of the most prominent fluorosurfactants and applied widely in fire-fighting and daily chem., etc. However, these surfactants have recently been identified as toxic and undegradability in the environment. Developing an efficient approach to environment-friendly fluorosurfactants is essential. A fluorocarbon branched chain strategy was adopted to develop /PFOS substitutes. A series of intermediates of novel branched fluorinated surfactants with CF3CF2CF2C(CF3)2 group were synthesized from perfluoro-2-methyl-2-pentene. All the steps were mild, easy-handled and cheap. It is expected to be a very significant direction for the development of non-bioaccumulable alternatives of PFOA or PFOS. In the experiment, the researchers used 1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)benzene(cas: 623-24-5Application In Synthesis of 1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)benzene)
1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)benzene(cas: 623-24-5) belongs to organobromine compounds.Depending on the type of carbon to which the bromine is bonded, organic bromide could be alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or aryl. Due to the reactivity of bromide, they are used as potential precursors or important intermediates in organic synthesis. Application In Synthesis of 1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)benzene
