2-Bromophenol CAS 95-56-7

1. 2-Bromophenol is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis for producing pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. It has been identified as a disinfection byproduct found in chlorinated pool water.
2. 2-Bromophenol CAS 95-56-7 is employed in the preparation of anti-benzofurobenzofuran diimides and other specialty chemicals.
3. Applications of 2-Bromophenol also include its use in photodegradation studies using UV-Vis spectroscopy and HPLC, and as a reagent to synthesize ortho-substituted phenols via dilithio derivatives.

1. Store 2-Bromophenol in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Protect from light as it is light-sensitive.
2. Keep 2-Bromophenol away from strong oxidizing agents, acid anhydrides, and acid chlorides to prevent hazardous reactions.
3. Always use 2-Bromophenol CAS 95-56-7 appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including chemical-resistant gloves (fluorinated rubber recommended), safety goggles with face shield, and protective clothing when handling 2-Bromophenol.

1. Immediately isolate the spill area, eliminate all ignition sources, and contain 2-Bromophenol using inert, non-combustible absorbent material (e.g., sand, earth, diatomaceous earth).
2. Carefully collect 2-Bromophenol CAS 95-56-7 using non-sparking tools into sealed, labeled chemical waste containers for proper disposal according to local, state, and federal environmental regulations.
3. Personnel must wear suitable PPE including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) during cleanup; prevent material from entering drains or waterways as 2-Bromophenol is very toxic to aquatic life.

1. 2-Bromophenol is classified as a combustible liquid (flash point 42°C) and is harmful if swallowed (LD50 oral mouse 652 mg/kg), in contact with skin, or if inhaled. 2-Bromophenol CAS 95-56-7 causes skin irritation (H315), serious eye irritation (H319), and may cause respiratory irritation (H335).
2. 2-Bromophenol is very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects (H400). Thermal decomposition or combustion produces toxic fumes including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen bromide gas.
3. Always consult the specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for 2-Bromophenol for complete hazard information, first-aid procedures (P305+P351+P338 for eyes, P301+P312+P330 for ingestion, P302+P352 for skin), and handling instructions; UN classification varies (UN1993 or UN2810, Hazard Class 3, PG III).
