Physical Properties:Tetrabromobutane is a racemic type that precipitates thin crystals in petroleum ether, soluble in ethanol, ether, acetone, and petroleum ether, and insoluble in water. The racemic type precipitates needle shaped crystals in ethanol, soluble in ethanol, acetone, and chloroform, slightly soluble in petroleum ether, and insoluble in water.
Applications:Tetrabromobutane is used as flame retardant of self extinguishing polystyrene foam.
