Application
3-Bromobiphenyl is a colorless to pale yellow liquid primarily utilized in various industrial applications as an important organic synthesis intermediate. It plays a crucial role in the pharmaceutical and liquid crystal industries due to its unique chemical properties. The compound is also employed in developing advanced electrochemical immunosensors, specifically those based on poly(dopamine) coated gold nanoclusters, aimed at detecting brominated flame retardants. Despite its industrial utility, 3-Bromobiphenyl belongs to the polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) group, which are synthetic organic compounds historically used as flame retardants. These compounds have been largely banned or restricted because of their environmental persistence and toxicity concerns. Nevertheless, the demand for 3-Bromobiphenyl, particularly in Japan and South Korea, has been rising, especially among companies engaged in liquid crystal display production.
