Description

Tribromofluoromethane (CAS No. 353-54-8) is a halogenated hydrocarbon with the molecular formula CBr₃F and IUPAC name tribromo(fluoro)methane. This compound is characterized by its high density and non-flammability, making it suitable for specialized industrial and laboratory applications. It is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, and its unique bromine-fluorine substitution pattern contributes to its chemical stability and reactivity under controlled conditions.

Researchers and scientists value Tribromofluoromethane for its role as a solvent, intermediate, or reagent in synthetic chemistry, particularly in halogenation reactions. Its high molecular weight and halogen content make it useful in density separation techniques and as a flame retardant additive. Proper handling is essential due to its potential health and environmental hazards, including toxicity and ozone-depleting properties.

Available in high-purity grades, this chemical is supplied in secure, chemically resistant packaging to ensure stability and safety during transport and storage. For detailed technical specifications, including purity levels and analytical certificates, please contact our customer support team.

Application

Tribromofluoromethane is primarily used as a dense solvent in mineral separation and density gradient applications. In organic synthesis, it serves as a brominating agent or intermediate for introducing bromine into target molecules. Additionally, its flame-retardant properties make it suitable for research in fire suppression and polymer modification. Due to environmental concerns, its use is restricted in some applications, but it remains valuable for controlled laboratory studies.
