Uses

Bromobenzene can be used to prepare the corresponding Grignard reagent, phenylmagnesium bromide. This can be used in a number of fashions, e.g. the reaction with carbon dioxide to prepare benzoic acid. Bromobenzene is used in the production of drugs. The Grignard reaction is an organometallic chemical reaction involving alkyl- or aryl-magnesium halides, also called Grignard reagents, with electrophiles. ... Phenylmagnesium bromide, with the simplified formula C6H5MgBr, is a a magnesium-containing organometallic compound. ...

Pharmacology

It is a toxic substance and can cause liver and nervous system damage if inhaled, ingested or absorbed through the skin.
