Dibromomethane (CAT: R019630) is a dense, colorless liquid halomethane compound used as a versatile reagent and solvent in organic synthesis. With two bromine atoms bonded to a central carbon, it serves as a valuable source of electrophilic carbon in cyclopropanation, halomethylation, and other halogenation reactions. Dibromomethane is also employed in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers. Its relatively high boiling point and reactivity make it suitable for laboratory-scale transformations and industrial processes. Additionally, it functions as a probe in spectroscopic studies and is occasionally used as a flame retardant intermediate and degreasing agent.
