Regulatory Information
Status: Active Update: 20-09-2018 https://echa.europa.eu/registration-dossier/-/registered-dossier/18890
Bromodiphenylmethane: Does not have an individual approval but may be used under an appropriate group standard
The New Jersey Worker and Community Right to Know Act requires public and private employers to provide information about hazardous substances at their workplaces. (N.J.S.A. 34:5A-1 et. seq.)
Fire Hazards
Excerpt from ERG Guide 153 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible)]:
· Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily.
Health Hazards
Excerpt from ERG Guide 153 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible)]:
· TOXIC and/or CORROSIVE; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death.
Hazards Summary
Decomposed by hot water evolving hydrobromic acid; Causes burns (in the presence of moisture) and lachrymation; [CAMEO] Causes burns and lachrymation; Inhalation may cause corrosive injuries to upper respiratory tract and lungs; [Alfa Aesar MSDS] See Chlorodiphenylmethane and Diphenylmethane.
Reactivity Profile
Halogenated aliphatic compounds are moderately or very reactive. Halogenated organics generally become less reactive as more of their hydrogen atoms are replaced with halogen atoms. Materials in this group are incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Also, they are incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides.
DOT Hazard Classification

Chemistry & industry
Uses & manufacturing
Applications
UsesBenzhydryl Bromide is used as a reagent in the synthesis of O-(triazolyl)methyl carbamates as a novel and potent class of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibitors.
UsesBenzhydryl bromide is a halogenated building block. Benzhydryl group was preferred to the commoner benzyl to protect 2-nitrophenol in the Bartoli (vinyl Grignard) synthesis of 7-hydroxyindole. Protection was by reaction with the phenol in the presence of potassium carbonate in acetone; deprotection of the indole was by hydrogenolysis.
General DescriptionBromodiphenylmethane is a white crystalline solid. Melting point 113°F. A lachrymator. In the presence of moisture corrosive to tissue and most metals.
