Uses and applications

What the substance is used for, by industry and function

Organic synthesis.

Flame retardant.

Addition (to isoprene) is induced using bromotrichloromethane in a 3:1 mol ratio to isoprene by x-irradiation at 60 Gy/min. The main reaction yields a mixture of ca 75% 1,4 and 25% 4,1 addition product.

How it is made

At 225-275 °C bromination of the (chloroform) vapor yields bromochloromethanes: CCl3Br, CCl2Br2, CClBr3
