Applications
Bromobenzene is used as solvent in organic synthesis. It is used to prepare the phenylmagnesium bromide, a Grignard reagent, an intermediate in the preparation of benzoic acid by reacting with carbon dioxide. It is a precursor for making phencyclidine. It is useful for the introduction of phenyl group through palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions viz. the Suzuki reaction.

Solubility
Miscible with diethyl ether, alcohol, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform and benzene.

Notes
Store in cool place. Avoid inhalation of vapor or mist. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
