Applications & Uses

Description

TBHBA (2,4,6-Tribromo-3-hydroxybenzoic acid; 3-Hydroxy-2,4,6-tribromobenzoic acid) is produced by reacting with 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AA) or 3-methylbenzothiazole in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and peroxidase. Oxidative coupling reaction of methylone hydrazone (MBTH) to form highly stable dyes.
