General description
Tetrabromohydroquinone (TBHQ), also known as 2,3,5,6-tetrabromohydroquinone, can be synthesized by reacting bromanil with phenyl phosphine. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group, P21/n. The effect of C-Br group on the crystal structure of TBHQ has been investigated. Its role in causing green luminescence in Ptychodera flava has been investigated.
Application
Tetrabromohydroquinone may be used in the synthesis of thermoresponsive branched oligoethylene glycol dendrimers.
