General description

2,4,4,6-Tetrabromo-2,5-cyclohexadienone forms solid charge-transfer molecular complexes with 4-(aminomethyl)piperidine and their spectroscopic characteristics were studied.

Application

2,4,4,6-Tetrabromo-2,5-cyclohexadienone was used as catalyst for efficient deoxygenation of sulfoxides to their corresponding sulfides with 1,3-dithiane. It was also used as reagent for conversion of alcohols to azides.

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) can enter aquatic environments where they can have adverse effects on organisms. The BFR, 1,2,5,6-Tetrabromocyclooctane (TBCO), has been introduced as a potential replacement for the major use BRF, Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD). However, little is known about effects
