Product Description
1,6-Dibromopyrene (CAS: 27973-29-1) is a high-purity polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative, featuring two bromine substituents at the 1- and 6-positions of the pyrene ring. It appears as a yellow to orange crystalline powder, with high chemical stability and good solubility in organic solvents. Synthesized mainly via direct bromination of pyrene, it is a key intermediate for organic electronics, optoelectronic materials, and fine chemical synthesis.

Synthesis & Storage
- Synthesis: Mainly via direct bromination of pyrene: pyrene reacts with bromine in the presence of a catalyst (such as iron powder) in an organic solvent, followed by filtration, washing, recrystallization, and drying to obtain high-purity 1,6-dibromopyrene.
- Storage: Store at 10–25°C in a cool, dry, well-ventilated, dark warehouse; keep in sealed containers under inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption. Packed in 1kg, 5kg, or 25kg sealed plastic drums. Avoid direct sunlight, high temperature (>30°C), and contact with strong oxidants; keep away from food and feed. Shelf life: 24 months if unopened and stored properly.
- Handling Precautions: Use in well-ventilated areas; wear dust mask, nitrile gloves, and safety goggles. Avoid skin, eye contact, and inhalation of dust. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Dispose of waste in accordance with local regulations.
