Bromoform丨CAS 75-25-2, also known as tribromomethane, is a halomethane with the formula CHBr₃. It is a heavy, colorless to yellow liquid with a sweet odor, similar to chloroform. Bromoform occurs naturally in trace amounts in marine algae and is also produced industrially. It is primarily used in laboratory, industrial, and research applications.

 

Key Applications of Bromoform丨CAS 75-25-2

 

1. Laboratory Reagent
Bromoform丨CAS 75-25-2 is commonly used as a solvent or reagent in organic synthesis, especially in halogenation reactions and the formation of carbenes for cyclopropanation or rearrangement reactions. It also plays a role in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates.
2. Density Separation
Due to its high density (~2.89 g/cm³), bromoform is used in mineralogy and geology for the separation of minerals and fossil materials from less dense rock matrices via heavy liquid separation.
3. Marine and Environmental Research
Bromoform is produced biologically by phytoplankton and algae, and it plays a role in atmospheric chemistry by contributing to the halogen cycle. It is studied in climate science due to its role in ozone depletion in the lower stratosphere.
4. Anesthetic and Antiseptic History
Historically, bromoform was used as a sedative and antiseptic, although these applications are now obsolete due to toxicity concerns. However, it remains a subject of toxicological and pharmacological research.
5. Intermediate in Chemical Manufacturing
Bromoform is used in the production of other brominated organic compounds, and in specialty chemical synthesis, including flame retardants and fine chemicals.

 

Benefits of Bromoform丨CAS 75-25-2

 

✅ Useful in Specialized Separation Processes
Its high density makes it highly effective for precise gravity-based separations in geological and materials sciences.
✅ Reagent in Synthetic Organic Chemistry
Bromoform is a valuable halogenated intermediate for the synthesis of more complex compounds in chemical research.
✅ Natural Product Studies
Its presence in the ocean and role in halogen cycling makes it a key compound in environmental monitoring and marine biosynthesis research.
