INTRODUCTION
Bromobenzene, an aryl halide, is a clear, colorless liquid with a pleasant odor. It is soluble in methanol and diethyl ether, and very slightly soluble in cold water.
It is used as a solvent and reactant in organic synthesis and agrochemical intermediate.
Manufacture
Bromobenzene is prepared industrially by the action of bromine on benzene in the presence of iron powder.
