Pentabromophenyl acrylate
Pentabromophenyl acrylate (CAS 52660-82-9), with the linear formula Br5C6OCOCH=CH2 and a molecular weight of 542.64 g/mol, is a specialized chemical monomer. This compound serves as a valuable building block in organic synthesis and polymer science. Its unique structure, featuring extensive bromination on the phenyl ring, imparts specific properties making it suitable for applications requiring flame retardancy or high refractive index characteristics in advanced materials.
Monomer for Specialty Polymers
Pentabromophenyl acrylate can be polymerised to create materials with inherent flame-retardant properties, suitable for demanding electronic or construction applications. Its structure allows for incorporation into polymer backbones, modifying bulk material characteristics.
Intermediate in Organic Synthesis
As a reactive acrylate ester and a heavily brominated aromatic compound, it functions as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. It is useful for introducing brominated phenyl moieties into target compounds.
Component in High Refractive Index Materials
The high bromine content contributes to a high refractive index, making this monomer a candidate for use in optical materials, such as in waveguides or advanced lens formulations.
Flame Retardant Additive Precursor
Polymers derived from pentabromophenyl acrylate can act as effective flame retardants, finding use in plastics and textiles where fire safety is paramount.
